Outlook 2000 sorts contacts by first name

Outlook 2000 sorts contacts by first name

A friend of mine has an Outlook 2000 and has a problem with the sorting of the contacts. Within the contact-book everything's right, but if you write a new email and press the To-Button, the contacts are sorted by their first name instead of the last name. How to change that?
