sort by last names

[Guest]

My contact list sorts by last name. When I click on "To" or "cc", the
"Select Names" box comes up sorted by first name. How can I change this so
that all are sorted by last name

Have tried that. The Contacts folder is properly sorted, by last name.
However, when I compose a new e-mail, and click on the "To" button, the list
that comes up (the Outlook address book) is sorted by first name. I would
like to have that sorted by last name also. Any way to do that? BTW, this
is a new computer and I just transferred over my outlook.pst file from the
old computer, where it was sorted properly. Thanks -

You might want to read Russ' instructions again. They don't mention the Contacts folder at all, but a setting for the Outlook Address Book.
