"Full Name" display problem in Contacts

I fill in the "full name" dialog box correctly (e.g.: First=Mary, Middle=A.,
Last=Jones), but it sometimes (not in all contacts) shows as Jones A. Mary
when it should show Jones Mary A. If I switch the first and middle names in
the dialog box, it shows correctly. So somehow the First and Middle name
boxes are getting switched. Note: This is just for "Full Name" and its
display window; the "Display As" window below is correct: Jones, Mary A.
Thank you.

It's right there on the screen in front of me. And I do have my glasses on!

Very short Last Names sometimes confuse the algorithm. Is that what you're
seeing?

Russ - I just did a print screen to prove to you it IS THERE, but it wouldn't
reproduce here. How can you say there is no such option when it clearly is
right in front of me? How can I send you a picture so you can see that I'm
not lying or nuts, and that it IS THERE? Microsoft Outlook - Tools - Options

I can say it because it isn't in front of me.
There is no such option as simply "Last"
