what i mean is if i get a call from a number that is not in my phone book and i decide to save that number after the call, when i save it it will usually save it as last name then first name. is there a way to change that. i know that if i go through contacts and add a new contact it will let me choose how to file that contact but is there a way to do that with "on the fly" contact saving?

you can change the name order before you save it for the first time. there is no need to save the contact then return to the contcat and change the name order.
The other option which i have used is a cab file which switches all the names with last name first around. Cannot remember what it was called, i need to find it again myself. will have a look for you!
regards
EDIT: just added the cab file below, hope this is useful in any way.

no i mean when i save a number directly from the call log or from the phone application, it will only give me three fields: first name, last name, number and the type of number (i.e mobile, home, etc.) it doesn't give me the option to change the file options. i know that this is possible through the contacts menu.

when you say file do you mean the order in which the names are shown in the contacts list?
