How can I sort addressees by last name?

[dukebaker]

when I click on the "To" box on a new e-mail, I get a list of contacts sorted
by first name. This wasn't true with Outlook 2000. Can I sort by last name?

I wonder what version you are using now? Would have been helpful to include
that part.

I open Address Book. There are no entries. Entries are all under Contacts.
They are listed by first name, last name. For the purpose of finding the "To"
for e-mail I want the names listed by last name, first name. From reading
previoius messages it appears I am confusing Outlook Address Book with
Outlook Contacts. Can you direct me to a help source to get specific
instruction for fixing this problem ?
