Default First Name Last Name Confusion

In Outlook 2003, if I create a new contact and click the 'Full Name'
button I can enter the details in the 'Check Full Name' form as first
'john' and last 'smith'. But on closing the form the Full Name is shown
incorrectly as Mr. Smith John.
'File As' is shown correctly as Smith, John.

Anyone any idea what is causing this?

FullName Order is a separate setting from FileAs - go into Contact
Options settings and adjust accordingly (the setting will apply to new
contacts - not pre-existing ones)

Karl,

items in Outlook!
