Russ & the group:

I've got a problem that I can't seem to find an answer to;

I have hundreds of names and addresses in my Outlook Contact file.

I want to create a Distribution List and select the names to add to that
list by looking at their last names.

Everytime I open the "Select Members" function, I get a listing of my
Contacts, but sorted by first name, not last name.

If I look at my Contacts in either the Address Cards view or the Detailed
Address Card view, the names are sorted by Last Name, then First Name. My
"File As" is set up as LastName, First Name. It seems to be working
correctly.

What am I doing wrong, please?

Thanks in advance,

Chris Altwegg

I have done all this and my distribution lists still appear in FIRST NAME order.
