Mass Edit of File As in Contacts
 

I'm using Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2007.

I have the global address list, my address book as well as three public
folders configured as address books all recently imported from a legacy mail
system.

I am attempting to sort it by Last Name, First name.

To date, I have the Last name sort configured in the 'Address Book' section
where I selected sort on 'File As'.

I've discovered that all 5000+ contacts are 'Filed As' First Last
Is there any way to mass edit the contacts so they are all 'Filed As' Last,
First instead of the default First Last

See http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/file-as.htm - the code only works on
the default folder, so you'll need to move contacts around to use it.
