I'm uploading about 2000 contacts adn mapping information to various fields.

Can I change the way I view my ADDRESS book. I have been trying to change
it so shows company (Last,First).

I'm starting with a blank address book, changing the settings in
tools/options and contacts before i import but it won't apply the changes...
can anyone help?

Importing with Outlook's Import Wizard is the worst way to create Contacts.
The settings you specify for derived fields like "File As," "Full Name," and
"Email Display As" will not be applied to Contacts you import.
Why must you use Import to create these Contacts?

The Address Book view of your Contacts is not customizable.
