Vista - Sorting Address Book by last neme

I transported my address book from XP without problem. However, I can not
sort it by last name. The only way I could do was to enter last name under
'first name' field. Any suggestion?

Windows Mail?
Open the Contacts folder
right-click on the Names heading
check Last Name, to show this column
click on the Last Name heading to sort up/down

In February, Keith Miller replied to a similar question with the following
answer:

"The 'Name' column displays the data found in the 'Full Name' field of the
contact (Under the 'Name & E-mail' tab when you edit a contact). There is a
drop list button that allows you to select the LastName, FirstName format.
You can also type any text you want into this field and that will display as
the name."

I tried it, and it worked fine. It's a bit time consuming, but now when I
want to select addressees from my Contacts list, they're in last name
sequence.

Dave,
It worked. I was really lost. I also used the info provided by George.

George, Thanks a lot. I am able to make the sort. I am now upgrading the data
