Default How can I sort my email address list by last name?

I am using Office 2007 and can not find a way to sort by last name the email
address' that comes up in the "sent to" listing. They are that way in the
contacts list. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to Tools Account Settings Address Book Tab Outlook Address Book
Change... Set sort order there

Note that your options are only to sort by "First, Last" or by "File As." So
if you want your Outlook Address Book to sort by "Last, First," or by
"Company" you must have your Contacts' File As fields configured that way.

Indeed. Any setting changes you make to Outlook that utilize MAPI require a
restart to take effect. Just another of Outlook's charming "features."
