Sorting contacts by last name
I’ve stored my contacts as First Last but when I address an email by pressing on the “To:” button, it still shows them Last, First.
How can I show them all as First Last like they have saved them in the Contacts folder?
The display order of the Address Book (which shows up when pressing the “To:” button) is independent from how your contacts are stored in the Contacts folder. It will require an additional change to your Address Book settings to change the display of the names to First Last.
The option to change the sorting of the Address Book is a bit hidden though;
Outlook 2007
Tools-> Account Settings…-> tab Address Books-> select: Outlook Address Book-> button Change…
Outlook 2002/XP and Outlook 2003
Tools-> E-mail Accounts…-> View or change existing directories or address books-> button Next-> select: Outlook Address Book-> button Change…
Outlook 2000 Corporate Workgroup Mode (CW Mode)
Tools-> Services-> select: Outlook Address Book-> Properties
Outlook 2000 Internet Mail Only Mode (IMO Mode)
Tools-> Address Book…-> View
