Contact order
 
When putting in my contacts I have them being displayed as "Last Name, First
Name" (In the contact section)

When I go to send an email the box that brings up the contacts brings them
up as "First Name, Last Name".

How do I get that section to bring them up "last Name, First Name"??

Does it have the comma in the dialog?
up as "First Name, Last Name".


What is the display name and full name format when you create a contact?

And it shows in the address book as Will, Adams? Or is this is a mistype?

If it shows as Will Adams (no comma) - The Address book uses either First
Last or File As format, selectable in Tools, accounts, Address book tab,
Change (outlook 2003/2007).
