Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel This question was asked but not answered in 2007 (the posted answer didn't work for me...)

When I try to sort contacts by a custom date it sorts the dates alphabetically- that is, Fridays first, WEdnesdays last. This is hash. I looked in Entourage as well as system preferences to change the date format but could not find a way to do that. In any case, how can MS have a date field sorted alphabetically in the first place????????

Help!
