Enter Name in contacts appear in the wrong order

[Steve S]

When I create a contact and type in a name (Steve Sweitzer) the Steve goes
into the Last name field and the Sweitzer goes into the First Name field.
How can I change this so the name is entered into the correct field.

Thanks so much,, this was driving me crazy. I knew it was something obvious
like this but couldn't find it - either on my own or anywhere in Help.

This solved the problem.

When I create a contact and type in a name (Princess Dixon) the Princess goes
into the Last name field and the Dixon goes into the First Name field. How
can I change this so the name is entered into the correct field.

I have already tried the solutions that you have given as far as the tools
options contacts options.
Can you please help me with this.
