In my address book &nbsp;from Outlook it takes the names in my contact list that are in outlook file (that are sorted as I want, ex. by last name) but in the address book, it shows the same names but only by firts name and there are no tools to sort it by anything else ? How can that be and what can I do to sort it like the contact list ? Thnak you
