display name view

[bnc]

I have checked to display my contact names by first then last. But it is
doing it by last then first. I have to manually open each contact and change
it. I tested the setting by creating a new contact card with the setting
"file as first last" checked and it still does "last, first". What gives?
Outlook 2003. Windows XP. Thank you.

I am in Contacts folder, address card view, "file as" field will not file
by first name even tho that is selected. I have to manually do each one.

Then you must be talking about existing Contacts. Expected behavior.
What you set will only apply to new Contacts.
