I dont have the same phone but I know on WM6 smartphone when your editing or entering the contact information scroll way down under work phone 100 or something () theres a display as or something field with last , first and you can scroll through the options.

You are looking for the setting "File as". It would be easier if you do that in Outlook (assuming that you sync your contacts with Outlook)

I use a server so I am syncing all the time. The problem is that you cannot set first/last for all contacts you have to do it individualy. On my blackberry I could set it on the phone so I didnt have to change each one.

Yeah, it's the sixth field down ("File As...") when editing an "outlook contact". Tap it and it will give you all available options for the name you have entered. It's annoying, I know. Wish you could just set it as an "overall" preference, rather than having to do each conatct one-by-one.
