How do I controll the sort order in the Select Names dialog box

I appologize in advance for the long post but I want to be specific.
Issue:
When I select New to create an email and then the "TO" button a dialog box
opens called Select Names. Now our company uses multiple address books and
this issue here concerns the CONTACTS address book. So step two, is that in
the Select Names dialog box I'm selecting CONTACTS in the address book drop
down. The problem is that the names are not displayed in a consistent
first,last order (my preference) which means I'm always have to use the
advanced find option. Other Info:
Under Tools/Options/Contact Options the Default "Full Name order is set to
First (middle) last. The Default "File AS" order is set to First Last.

What matters is the sort order you specified for the Address Book view, not
the Contacts Folder.
State that setting. I'll assume you know where to look. We can't tell you
because you did not remember to post your Outlook version.
