Sorry about not including my version.

When I go to get e-mail addresses for a new e-mail the come up
alphabetized by first name instead of last name. I have tried
everything I can find to change it to bring up addresses by last name
with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and were able to fix
it?

Any ideas on fixing this?
 
Tools | Account Settings | Address Books. Select the Outlook Address Book, click Change, and change the sort to File As.

The separate setting in Tools | Options | Contact Option controls how the File As field default value is constructed.

In my experience, "the same problem" usually isn't. Please describe your exact symptoms and Outlook version.
