How names are displayed in Address Book

[Kathy]

In the Letters and Mailins section, the little address book icon is linked to
my Outlook 2003 Contacts list. It shows the contacts alphabetically, but
displays them by the Name field, rather than the File As field. Is there a
way to change that. I'd rather look them up alphabetically by last name
because there are times I don't remember what the first name is. Is there a
way to do this?

Thank you.

Try asking in an Outlook newsgroup. Since this feature actually "belongs" to
Outlook, the folks there will have a better idea how/if this can be achieved.

In case Anyone looks here for this issue, here is the solution I got from the
Outlook discussion group


Go to Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or
address books > Outlook Address Book > Change… > Set your sort order there
