Outlook 2000, on a network at work- I was able to click
on the e-mail in the contact and change the display, but
when I forward or send something and use my address book
to pick the addresses, it still shows first and last name,
not the e-mail display-as name. ideas??
 
That's a different question. Now you're trying to sort the Outlook Address
Book, which has nothing to do with the Display Name.
Tools menu > Services > Highlight the Outlook Address Book service > Click
Properties > Set sort order
 
When I tried this, I was able to get to properties, but
wasn't offered 'sort order'. What I got was an option
to 'show names by file-as', which I checked. I then went
back and change one contact's file-as name (say, John Doe
to John D), but when I went to send an email to him, the
name in the 'to' line still said 'John Doe(email)', even
thought the save-as and e-mail section name is John D.
What can I try next?

That _is_ the sort order. You have to restart Outlook before you see any
changes.
