Question about Name Order

Hi,

I'm trying to help a friend out, but I couldn't track down anything on this:

When clicking on Tools > Address Book, the names are listed first name first
(John Smith). When typing in the search box, it searches on the first name.
Is there any way to get this to work last name first instead?

I've tried going into Tools > E-Mail Accounts, clicking "View or change
existing directories or address books", and changing the properties of the
address book. I have also gone to Tools > Options > Preferences and clicking
"Contact Options". Neither of these ideas have worked. Does anyone else have
an idea?

Thanks!
 
Provide your Outlook version.
Provide your information store.
You only told us that you changed the sort order for the Outlook Address
Book. You did not tell us to what you set it. That would be helpful to know.
If you set it to "File As..." then tell us what your File As field format
is.
 
Found the problem. I needed to restart Outlook after making the changes.
Thanks just the same though =)

Mike
