Contact Configuration - Last Name

[CraigT]

I would like to have my contacts show up on my directory by last name. Mine lists the first name and that's what it looks for when I search. It doesn't search last name. What am I doing wrong?

When I want to add a new contact I have the following pertinent fields: Full Name... (This one has a box that is selectable) and then "Job Title", "Company" and "File as:".

If I type in "Bob Thomas" in Full name it puts "Bob, Thomas" in the File as line. If I type "Thomas Bob" in Full name it puts "Thomas, Bob" in the file as.

If I click on "Full Name" and get the pop up box and type in the correct first and last names, I then get "Thomas Robert" in Full name and "Thomas, Robert" in the file as area.

If I want to have it so that everything sorts on last name as primary and have the last name show first in my contacts list (although also being able to sort on first name would be nice) what's the right way to set this up.

Also, I have about 800 names that are showing in my directory as first name is the sort field. What's the best way to convert my directory so my existing show last name in the sort?

I just need some general guidance as to how to get back on track. Any help or thoughts are appreicated. CraigT
