For some reason, my address book now displays all my
Contact names by First name, not Last name. I have not
been able to find the way to have the names sorted by
Last name (as they are in the Contacts folder).
Can you point me to the proper command?

Yes you can. In fact it's the only way you can. What is not happening that
you think should be? In what format is your File As field? Did you restart
Outlook?
