The Global Address List (GAL) order is set by your Exchange administrator.
Ask if the contacts in the GAL can be sorted by last, first - but I doubt it
will be changed as the admin has to jump through some hoops to get it to
display by first last... and I suspect this was done at the request of a
"higher up."
