Email Contacts only listed by 1st name

[Guest]

I'm using Outlook 2002 and have put all my contacts in the contact portion
and have them listed to dispay by last name, first name but when I go to send
an email and press "to" the pull down menu pops up from the outlook contacts
and they are ALL listed only by first name, I cannot even search them by last
name. This just isn't working. I'm not sure what else to do. Even though I
have listed them in Contacts to display by last name it still will only pull
it up by first name when I go to send an email. PLEASE HELP!!! Any ideas?

Go to Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or
address books > Outlook Address Book > Change… > Set your sort order there.
Restart Outlook.

Thank you soooo much Russ Valentine!! It solved my problem. Your
information worked and now I am properly sorted. I tried everything and just
couldn't figure it out--thanks again--you were a HUGE help!
