To this day, it still surprises me that Microsoft have not added the ability to change the display order, considering it's a feature in Outlook (for PCs and Macs), it's such a logical and simple addition...

I usually just place the name like this FIRST_LAST. Making it one word. usually works but i agree..it's stupid not to offer that. LOL...funny how we usually don't remember last names that are more unique per person, yet we can know 7 Jeff's and know who is who.

I found the answer..lol...

"it puts a 'File As' option in the contact menu so you can change it to what you need"

I put in the contact, then select highlight the inputed contact and then go to my menu, select "file as" and it switches it for me.
