Contacts transposing first and last names

When I enter a new contact in the Full Name field, the first and last names
are transposed in the File As field. For example, typing "John Doe" in the
Full Name, results in "John, Doe" in File As. Opening the Full Name Details
box, I find "Doe" in First Name and "John" in Last Name. When I correct
those entries and close the box, File As displays correctly, "Doe, John" but
now the Full Name on the address card reads "Doe John." This has happened
several times, on different days after the computer has been shut down and
restarted.

State the preferences you set for each field.
Enter names in their respective fields, not a derived field.
