I try to send emails, the email addresses come up alpha by FIRST name of the
individuals in my contact / address book. The names in the contact / address
book are filed by LAST name order.

How do I get the pop up contact list to be by LAST name; cannot find this
option to correct anywhere.

Depends on your Outlook version, which you decided wasn't important enough
to mention.

For Outlook 2002/2003, click ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change existing
directories or address booksNext. Select the sort order there. Click OK,
close and restart Outlook.
