WM5 - Change Contacts Display Name

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a way in Windows Mobile 5 to change the default display of names in the contacts from surname, firstname to just firstname surname?

Ya, would like to know how to set Contacts to display "FirstName LastName" (without using Outlook) as well instead of "LastName, FirstName". I used to use this little utility (freeware, coded by someone from BrightHand forum) called "FileAs: FirstLast" back in my iPAQ h4150 (WM2003) days. It adds a new menu at Contacts > Tools > FileAs: FirstLast. Also available as pop-up menu while a (or multiple) contact(s) is selected.

I'm a bit sceptical if it would work in WM5 and so I didn't try it on my new Axim X51. If you would like to test-drive it (at your own risk) on your WM5 Axim, PM me your e-mail

PocketInformant will do that.
