Default Sorting Outlook contact names

I have a few outlook contact folders. In the sub-folders
I cannot get the contacts to sort by FirstName Last Name. They have sorted
by Last Name First Name and the only way I have been able to rectify is by
changing each contact individually. I have set my preferences
in the Options to my required preference.

The contacts were imported from a dbf file previously

I am Using Outlook XP

You failed to specify the view to which you are referring and the field on
which that view has been configured to sort. State more clearly and more
accurately what you want to do.

Why not post the solution and how you came to discover it.
