Many of my contacts have alphabet soup after their names.
(MA, PhD, MD, CEBS, etc)
I take the letters out of the "File As" so it displays
LastName, FirstName.  But now the names are showing under
the alphabet soup, if they show at all.  I go to change
the "File As" field (back to the same LastName,
FirstName) and the field blanks. I have tried pressing
END, then tab to next field, pressing enter, both change
the "File As" field blank - that is the information is
removed.  If I click save & close with the cursor still
in the field I get a msg that the field is blank do I
want to save.

Is there a command line switch that will clean up the
contacts?  or someother way of getting the LastName,
FirstName to stay in the field and to sort by it?
