Default "Full Name" properties reversed

A please would be nice?

I was finally able to clear this issue by the following:

Under ToolsAccount SettingsAddress BookChange the Default "Full Name"
order was set to by Last Name, First Name.

However, in ToolsOptionsContact OptionsDefault "Full Name" oreder was set
to Last First.

By changing the Default "Full Name" order to First (Middle) Last the problem
was corrected.

Why don't you guys have one single location that provides all the
options/combinations for displaying names, auto fill, etc? Instead there are
at least four possible areas that can be done and it appears the "Default"
options must synch with the user selections elsewhere. It took quite a few
hours for me to fix this simple problem and searched documentation/Help
extinsively.

State the setting you chose for the Full Name field and how you chose it.
