Converting older "File As" Last, First contacts to new Default "File As" (First Last) order, all at once?
 
Hi,

I have 500+ contacts, that were originally created with "File As" being
Last, First.

My new "File As" order is First Last.

Is there a any way to select all my existing contacts and convert the
older Last, First contacts to the new "File As", without going through
them all one_by_one and doing it manually?

TIA.

Hello Bill,

you can use the Tool "ChangeNames"
(http://www.marchert.de/redirect.php?...on=software_cn) to change
the order automatically.

Microsoft has posted some code that can do that:
