I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2007 and in the process moved all
of my contacts from a pst file back into the contact list that lives
in with my exchange mail box, during this process the way names are
being displayed on business cards has changed and I cannot get it back
to the way I would like....
At this point all of the settings I can find are set to first name
last name, both the full name and file as options, the problem is that
on the business card view it is showing last name first name with no
comma, and even though it is being filed correctly in the list
alphabetically it looks out of place because the full name is now
showing the actual last name first... This is confusing to look at
much less try to explain, let me see if I can try to show everyone
what I am seeing.

If I open the contact and click on the full name button I see
First: John
Last: Doe then I click ok and now in the full name line and the
business card view I see Doe John, if I go directly into the business
card and edit it there and make it display correctly and then go back
to look at the full name it will have reversed the names, I know I am
probably missing a setting somewhere but its becoming an exercise in
insanity at this point I seem to be checking all the same places over
and over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have yet to mention the sort order you specified for the view. Seems to
me that's what is relevant here.
