The caps lock key on your keyboard appears to be broken. Better get that
fixed.

How to adjust the list as shown in the address book is Outlook
version-specific and you decided that mentioning your Outlook version was
unimportant.

For Outlook 2002/2003, click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing
directoryies or address books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click
Change. Set the sort order there. In Outlook 2007, click Tools>Account
Settings, select the Address Book tab, select Outlook Address Book and click
Change.
