Names in my Contact folder are sorted as Last Name, First Name in the File
As box. However, when I create a Distribution List using the names from the
Contact Folder some of the names are by first name and other by last name.
How can I sort the names as last, first?

Thanks!
2002 SP3

What you specify for your Contacts Folder is not in play. DL's will abide by
the sort order you specify for the Outlook Address Book, but only if you
created the DL in your current version of Outlook after you specify that
sort order.

Try this:

Open the DL and then click on the Update Now button.

FYI: That feature has never worked.
