Default SELECT NAME search sorted by surname rather than given name

When addressing an e-mail in Outlook through the use of the Select Names
window the list of contacts is sorted by the given names of all the contacts
and cannot be altered to be sorted by surname (thereby grouping family
members, etc.). It would be nice to be able to select how you want the
Select Names field listed.
