First and last name contact display

I know this has been covered somewhere, but I couldn't relocate it.

Whats the registry edit to make the contacts display first name first?

ex. "Randy Shapiro" instead of "Shapiro, Randy"

Yes that's my name, and no I don't care if everyone sees it lol

there is an option with contacts. go and edit the contact and change "file as" to first, last name.

quicker way is to load onto outlook, change it and then load back to phone.

I already knew you could do this. It's just a pain to go through an do that to all 250+ contacts. I read somewhere in these forums or on xda, i cant remember which, where you can edit a registry string to change the default to First Name, Last Name instead of Last Name, First Name.

It is possible, I just cant find the thread for the life of me...
