It looks like it sorts automatically on how the name is entered for the display name. If you look at the properties for an address, you will see how the display name is set up, in our case, everything is set up as Last Name, First Name. I couldn't see a way for you to sort by any other method because it appears to be all one field.=20 Christine McDonald, CPA Technical Specialist Information Technology Division (RSA-4) Western Regional Office -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Elise C.
