when I click on the "To" box on a new e-mail, I get a list of contacts sorted
by first name.  This wasn't true with Outlook 2000.  Can I sort by last name?

I wonder what version you are using now? Would have been helpful to include
that part.

Go to Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or
address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. > Set your sort order there

I open Address Book. There are no entries. Entries are all under Contacts.
They are listed by first name, last name. For the purpose of finding the "To"
for e-mail I want the names listed by last name, first name. From reading
previoius messages it appears I am confusing Outlook Address Book with
Outlook Contacts. Can you direct me to a help source to get specific
instruction for fixing this problem ?
Outlook 2000 SR1 in Office 2000 Std. and Windows XP Home ED.

Are you using Internet Mail Only mode or Corporate/Workgroup mode?  The
second line of Help>About will tell you.
