Depends on your version of Outlook, which you decided wasn't important
enough to mention.

In both office 2003 and 2007 I get a problem when Outlook address book
suddenly changed all thenames from first name, last name order which I want
it to show, to Last, first which is how I have Outlook contacts but don't
want the address book to show. I have followed these instructions many times
to set the addres book to show first last. But although new entries get
inserted automatically in the right order, old entries dont change back.
Instead you have to open the contact, cut say the email address and paste it
back in, then save the contact. I then shows up in the address book in the
right order. If you just open and save the order doesn't change, you have to
do some editing job to make it happen when you save.How can I change my 1000
addresses in the address book back to the right order without going through
this rigmarole for each of them?

This question is answered daily here. State which of the "instructions" you
followed and what happened when you tried. Only in your imagination would
Outlook change things all on its own. Your post is completely unclear.
