Do you remember when you imported the output from your BB? One of the last steps after you have chosen the file to import shows a button for Map Custom Fields. Choose that button and then drag Full Name from the left side to FIRST NAME on the right side. When I did that, Outlook shows them in order of First name.

Because your previous import mapped FullName from BB to Last Name, that's the way it's showing. I tried within Outlook to change it around and it would not change it for me either.

I have a blackberry curve 8330 synched to outlook 2003 for address book. Blackberry is set to display last name first. Outlook contacts on laptop set same, but addresses display on blackberry wrong;...

As annoying as it may be, you might just have to choose the portion that is more important to you - Outlook or the Blackberry. I'm assuming it's the BB.

Since Outlook is different then Outlook Express, you would more than likely have to alter the business contact information in Outlook to make it transfer properly to the BB.

It is a database and not CSV format I'm assuming (comma separated value) format coming from Outlook, but in the process is reads it as a CSV file it seems.

Test it out by entering a dummy business contact and seeing what needs to be where to make it work on the BB.

Since it doesn't have an open source code, I doubt it can be tweaked aside from that.
