Organizing contacts in Vista

S

Sherrie Gentry

When I add a contact, the name shows with the given name first and surname
second. I need to list my contacts by surname first and given name second.
How and where do I change this?

Thanks!

In the Contacts folder:
Change the View to "Details".
Right-click on the "Name" column heading, click on "First Name", then click
on "Last Name"
Click on the "Last Name" heading to sort by that, or click on "First Name"
heading to sort by that.

In a Create Mail window:
Click on To:
Click on the "Name" column heading... it cycles thru 4 different sorts

In the Contact Properties:
click on the down arrow at the end of the Full Name box
