Sort by last name, then first

Even though my contacts are saved by last name, then first
name, when I address an email using the address book they
display first name, then last name. As my global address
lists are displayed by last name first I am used to typing
the first few letters of the last name to find my
recipient, however when I use contacts I have to type
first few letters of first name because of the way the
names are displayed. Can anyone help?
 
Sorry. Outlook 2000. Many thanks

Can you provide your Outlook version so we can?

Then it would also depend on your mail support mode:

Corporate/Workgroup mode:
Tools menu > Services > Highlight the Outlook Address Book service > Click
Properties > Set sort order

Internet Mail Only:
Tools menu > Address Book > View menu > Sort by
