Hi there,

I've imported a set of data to my Outlook contacts which now show opposite
of my default "File As" setting of First Name then Last Name. Instead they
are showing as Last Name, First Name. I have checked the default "File As"
setting is correct as is the current view's "File As" settings.

There are too many new entries to manually change each one. Is there a way
to universally change all entries to First Name Last Name?

Thanks,
Amie Glass
 
The import wizard does not apply the FileAs settings based on the UI
settings so you would manually have to change them by either writing your
own code or using a 3rd party program. You may find ContactGenieToolkit of
interest - one of the current 24 functions is standardization of the FileAs
field for existing contacts to one of 11 pre-defined formats (of which
First/Last Name is one)
