Default full name and file as are different when importing from outlook ex

i have imported my contacts in outlook 2007 from outlook express but the
field "file as" always shows the names in the reverse order Last name First
Name.
I have tried many times and made several times the changes in Tools-account
settings-address books-change-show names by first last or File as
And tools-options-preferences-contact options-default "Full name" First Last
and
Default "File As" First Last

It is important for me since this is the field that is used from activesync
to set the contacts in my new HTC S710 with windows mobile 6 standard
I have winxpsp2

Thanks in advance

Those settings do not apply to Contacts you import. You must reset them
manually.

I do indeed, unless you want to create some code to do it.
