Outlook Address Book sorting Order.

[John Crying Uncle]

My current Address Book associated with Microsoft Outlook
is sorting all entries by First Name and then Last Name.
This makes it somewhat difficult in finding the
individual that a intend to sent a e-mail to since I have
to look up that individual by First Name/Last Name.

Is there a way to establish the sorting in the Address
Book by Last Name/First Name?? I have exhausted all my
talents to achieve this without success. It may be an
impossibility to establish the sort in the Address Book

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
I had the same problem a couple of days ago which was sorted quickly by
"lanwench" from the group.
Try

Tools - e-mail accounts - view/change address books. Properties of Outlook
Address Book service: choose "file as" rather than "first last" which is the
default.

It worked for me!
