Hello,

I've been entering some contacts recently and noticed that
when I enter more than two names in the "children" field,
with the names separated by commas, Outlook alphabetizes
all but the last name.  For example, if I enter

Jackie, Heather, and Isabel,

Outlook changes it automatically to

Heather, Jackie, and Isabel.

Is there any way to turn this off?  I want to order
the children's names from oldest to youngest, so
the autoformatting sometimes prevents the ordering I want.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nigel

use a dash instead of a comma between names.
