Default Custom fields to sort by?

Hello, I'm now to Outlook 2003.
I want to sort my contacts by First Last (Company), but the only options
given a
• First Last
• Last, First
• Company
• Last, First (Company)
• Company (Last, First)
Is there a way to customise these?

Thanks,
Mark

You're not talking about actual sorting are you, but about setting the default File As formula?

I guess ideally it would be set as the default, but I can't work out how to
list my contacts by "First Last (Company)" instead of "Last, First
(Company)".

In Outlook, under Contacts, Current View - Address cards.

You can change the sort order in View | Arrange By | Current View | Customize Current View | Sort. Since there are four levels available, sort by First Name, Last Name, Company.

Thanks, Sue. That works when viewing by category, but not as Address cards.
Is there a way to do it for Address cards, too?

It should work for address cards, too. Make sure you're customizing the right view or define a new view.

Thanks, Sue. It's not exactly what I want but close enough. Thanks for your
