Collating sequence seems strange

in Hello,

This may be a thoroughly novice question but...

I go to the Address Book in the menu bar and open it and click
File>NewEntry>NewContact and want to add the contact ABC Company. I type this
in and in the FileAs box, Outlook gives me two choices: "Company ABC" and
"ABC, Compay" neither of which is correct, so I edit the entry to read "ABC
Company" expecting the entry to show up in the "A's" in the address book. Of
course it does not but ends up in the address book as "Company ABC". In the
contact list it is "ABC Company" as requested.

How do I control the format and collating sequence in the address book
independently of that in the contact list?

Never add or remove contacts with the Address Book interface. Instead, add
and remove them in your Contacts folder. The Address Book doesn't contain
any data. It's just a view of the Contacts folders you have enabled as
address books and which contain contacts with electronic addresses.

Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or addres
books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click change. Set the sort
order there.
