MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2005outlook 2003 address book sort
In Outlook 2003 I sorted the contact list by lastname, firstname, via the method talked about in this forum. When I view the contacts, the sort order is lastname, firstname. However, when I select the "To:" button from within a new message, the contact list is sorted by firstname, lastname. I restarted the computer with no change - it is sorted by firstname, lastname. How do I get the view from within this area to sort by lastname, firstname. Thank you You only configured your Contacts Folder. You also need to configure the Outlook Address Book. Go to Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. > Set your sort order there  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > In Outlook 2003 I sorted the contact list by lastname, firstname, via the > method talked about in this forum.

The method you mentioned below is the one I used to sort the contacts. Could there be a setting on the Exchange server overriding the view on the client?

Thank you Yes, I restarted Outlook and also restarted the computer (with no luck). I don't know what else to do for this issue and I am willing to try any other suggestions.

What exactly did you do? How did you set the sort order of the Contacts Folder? What sort order did you select for the Outlook Address Book?
