Can I set new "File As" criteria for contacts already in my contacts folder?

Hello,

I'm using Outlook 2002 SP3.

I recently imported my contacts list from gmail to Outlook. Even though
I set my "File As" structure to "First, Last", (in
ToolsOptionsPreferencesContact Options) the contacts I've imported
still sort as "Last, First" in the actual folder. Is there a way to
make all my contacts sort the way I need them to without having to
change the File As format in each individual entry? Should I have done
something differently before importing them into Outlook?

Those settings will not apply to Contacts you import. To change the File
As... field for existing Contacts requires code:
