I had to re-install Office XP and all other programs after installing Windows XP and I imported my previously exported contact list.

My contacts were listed by family name. However, after re-installation, some get listed by first name even thoughthe first and last names are correctly identified in the pop-up. Even deleting and re-entering the name does not help.

Do you have any suggestions?

Since I am new in this group I am not certain that I will be able to find your replies. Therefore I would appreciate if you would also send them by e-mail to te@generation.net

Go to your contacts and Open up the contact.

You should see a file as option. This is where you can set it as how it should be filed.

And welcome.

In 2000 and I believe 2002 Outlook, the contact naming preferences are under tools > options > preferences > contact > contact options..

I had the same issue as you using Outlook 2000..

Thanks for the reply. The Outlook installed by OfficeXP is the same as yours, Outlook 2000. I have tried contact naming preferences are under tools > options > preferences > contact > contact options.. before you posted your reply but it did not help. I even changed those settings from "last,first" to "first,last" and back but, the alphabetical listing remained inconsistent under both options.
