"Select Names" lists by First Name

Running Outlook 2000.
Somehow, my contacts, which are sorted ascending by last
name, started showing up in the "Select Names" box sorted
by first name when I click "To" when trying to address a
new email. So, when I type the last name of the
addressee in the white box to the left of the "Find"
button, the contact does not come up; first names come up.
What's the fix?
Thanks, in advance.

Configure the Address Book to sort by the "File As" field:
Tools menu > Services > Highlight the Outlook Address Book service > Click
Properties > Set sort order
 
Mr. Valentine:
Thanks for response. But, here are the choices in my
Tools menu (when the Contacts are on the screen):
Address Book
Find
Advanced Find
Organize
Empty Deleted Items Folder
Forms
Macro
Mail Merge
Accounts
Customize
Options
Update contacs from Customer Manager
Customer Manager Activity Tracker Options
Separate Contacts from Customer Manager.

No submenus give me an OUtlook Address Book Service.

Am I soing something wrong?
Thanks,

Post your correct Outlook version and mail support mode.
You said Outlook 2000, in which case the Tools menu would include a Services
option.
Try again.

Russ, I am using Outlook 2002 and have the same issue. Display is fine under Contacts, but when using the drop-down "To:" box, the names are First, Last. The remedy you cite for 2000 is what I'm looking for, but cannot find in 2002

Please advise

Thanks in advance for the help.
 
Mr. Valentine:
Under Help>About Outlook it says Outlook 2000. I don't
know what mail support mode refers to.
