Changing "File as" option in Contacts and Applying to all Contacts

[Kentucky]

Hi,

One of our users had a default "file as" setting as "Firstname, Lastname".
We have changed the default to "Lastname, Firstname" which will file new
contacts created under lastname, firstname. We need to make this change apply
to call contacts currently created in his contacts folder. How is this done?

We are using Outlook 2003 sp2 and Exchange 2003 sp2.
