OUTLOOK 2003 in W7, New CONTACTS will not 'File As' properly

[mcarpeneto]

I upgraded to W7 and reinstalled Outlook 2003 a few weeks ago. Now I notice
that new Contacts that I add do not file Lastname, First as instructed in
'View or Change Directories." Pre-existing Contacts are still ok.

Any ideas about how to fix the problem, preferrably not "Get Outlook 2007?"

Thanks

Click Tools>Options>Contact Options. What sort order did you choose there?
