Your contention is that you have set your First and Last name fields
correctly for each contact, set your Outlook Address Book to sort by "First,
Last," restarted Outlook, and yet the Outlook Address Book view sorts by
Last, First? If so, then one of the conditions I specified has not been met.

Hi guys,

I'm having the same problem but i want to sort "first name, last name".
I already selected my address book and marked "First Last" under show
names
by.
I do not want to file as last name first name.
I have also restarted my outlook many many times.
In tools - options - preferences - contact options. I configured both
setting for first name, last name.. still always shows my contacts as
"last
name, first name".
If i enter each contact and "file as" first name, last name than it
works..
but i don't wanna do that to each and every contact .. tooo much work ..

Any ideas?

Problem is solved. Found out I needed to restart MS Outlook after
chaging to
"file as Smith, John." Thanks for your help.

Hmmm, have you applied all the patches for OL2003?

I usually use "last name, first name" but sometimes I file by "company
name"
then "last, first name."
