Re: Distribution List

Importing Outlook data is never the right thing to do. It is impossible to know how much you changed or lost data by doing so. You'll find out along the way, I'm sure. As for sorting the Outlook Address Book, the instructions we post here daily have not changed. Since you appear to be unable to read other posts, I'll repost just for you:
Go to Tools > Account Settings > Address Book Tab > Outlook Address Book > Change... > Set sort order there

I am jumping in here with a related question. I imported .pst Contacts file
from Outlook 2000 into Outlook 2007. I want my Outlook 07 Address book to
display with Last Name, First Name. -- It is too confusing listed by first
name. In 2000 version, it is listed Last, First.

That would depend entirely on what Outlook version you are using and in
which Outlook version the DL was first created. Normally the DL will follow
the same sort order you specified for your Outlook Address Book. You posted
none of that information. I'm sure you can figure it out on your own, now.
