File As Contacts Last Name First Change

I remember when I first got my HTC that there was a way to change it so it files the contacts First Name first instead of last name first then first name. I been fooling around with the phone for 20 minutes and can not seem to find it. Did this setting even exist or did I dream it? If there is a way someone please enlighten me. I don't want to go and change it for over 168 contacts manually thanks.

Re: File As Contacts Last Name First Change

I remember when i couldn't find that too and I was so frustrated, especially when it would be a business. Example: the chinese restaurant is "Chen's Garden" but it came out "Garden, Chen's" lol

Re: File As Contacts Last Name First Change

Let's go one farther.

I'm using Google Sync right now. When the contacts get auto-updated they're forced into Last name first, using shubaroo's contact fix doesn't stick because once it's updated they get reversed again... Suggestions?

Re: File As Contacts Last Name First Change

I place in the first name line: first name, last name and company name - all in one line. Searches work well that way.
