I would prefer that my contact list be sorted by last name, then first, as was possible in Outlook Express. Is this option available in Vista? If so, where?

Are you using Windows Live Mail or is this something unique to Vista? I'm not all that familiar with what's in Vista.

In Outlook under Options | Preferences | Contact Options, there is the choice of ordering by first name or last name. I think it's the same or similar in Windows Live Mail.

Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail in Vista. I could not locate a forum here specifically on Vista, nor Windows Mail, which is why this question is so named.
