MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2007Display names in send e-mail "To" dialog box with last name first
When I go to write an e-mail in Outlook 2007, I open the "To" list and out pops the names in my contacts list- problem is I can't figure how to change the display to last name first (even though I've set up the names to display last name first when I open the Contacts folder) Also, I can't figure out how to get other contact lists that are subfolders in contacts to appear as an option when I use the "To" in the "New Message" screen- any ideas? > When I go to write an e-mail in Outlook 2007, I open the "To" list > and out pops the names in my contacts list- problem is I can't figure > how to change the display to last name first (even though I've set up > the names to display last name first when I open the Contacts folder) Depends on your version of Outlook. For Outlook 2002/2003, click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Select the sort order there. > Also, I can't figure out how to get other contact lists that are > subfolders in contacts to appear as an option when I use the "To" in > the "New Message" screen- any ideas? Right-click each of the contacts folders, choose Properties, select the Outlook Address Book tab, and click the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book".  SignatureBrian Tillman Thank you. I now can use all my contact subfolders in the send email "To" dialog page but in my Outlook 2007 that dialog page still sorts contacts by first name, even though I made the change suggested (and when I view the contacts in the contact l;ists they are sorted by last name) Any further ideas?

SignatureBrian Tillman Even after restarting Outlook, when I click "To" in the new message page I get the "Select Names" dialog box that sorts names only by first names with no obvious way to change to sorting by last name. When I open those same contact lists under "Contacts" they appear sorted by last name. I can't be the only one?
