MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2008how do I alphabetize contacts? Mine are out of order
1. The names in my contact list in Vista are not in alphabetical order. Where do I find the setting to fix this? 2. Even though I have selected names in my contacts to be listed by last name first, some contacts appear by first name. How do I correct this? gerrywaterloo What is a "contact list in Vista" and what does it have to do with Microsoft Outlook? If, in fact, this is an Outlook question, then you will need to state to what version and view of Outlook you are referring.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > 1.

Am using Contacts in Outlook 2003. How do I sort by alpha, last name preferred. And how do I get the Address Book to show me LN, FN in the NAME column.

Interesting, I typed “alphabetize” in the “Search for” box in this Office Discussion group (Outlook, Contacts). But only got four hits. Replies to all four questions from you were the same from you. Try it. Brian – Thank you for suggesting restarting Office. I even went one step further and did a cold boot of my machine just to make sure! I also have MS Outlook Express on my laptop. Windows XP, Outlook Express ver. 6. Same problem. But nothing in the Tools menu to allow me to setup the way the Contacts are sorted. Any suggestions? Lastly, my new desktop has Windows Vista. The mail program here is part of Vista, and not part of Office. I imported my Contacts from Outlook. Got all the info, but jumbled again. Do you know how to set the Contacts sort capability in Vista, or is there a different group of experts to help with this question?

You'd need to use one that works, like Google, and a term that is more accurate like "Sort the Outlook Address Book." I got 1,850 hits. Neither OE nor Vista Mail have anything whatsoever to do with either Office or Outlook. This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007 from the Office family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in this newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com.microsoft,public.windoes.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/ SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Russ, Thank you for your helpful suggestion.

And after following Russ' advice, it woul be a good idea to stop and restart Outlook. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] > 1.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I would like my receive my E-Mails in alphabetical order. How do I do this? Are you serious? What does this have to do with Outlook contacts? Were you thinking that an email client could override your mail server's settings? Email is received in the order in which it was received by the server. You can't change that. You can certainly sort your Inbox any way your heart desires after the messages are received. Knock yourself out.
