Sue,

I tried the corrective measures you outlined in this post and it still is
displaying the contact list by first name, even after selecting to sort by
last name, first name. Boy this new Outlook is worse than the Outlook 2000
which I left behind. At least there, once you made a correction it saved it
and displayed it the way it was saved.

Any help on this with Windows XP running Office XP?

I have walked through all the steps to instruct contacts to "File As" by
"Last, First" both globally and on an individual contact basis. Still,
when I
click "To" or "Cc" in an email, the Select Names dialog box continues to
sort
by first name - even when I change the "Display as" on the email address
to
list the last name before the first.

I'm using Outlook 2002 with Windows XP professional.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
