Sorting Contacts by Last Name when composing a new message in Outlook.

Question

Hello,

We have a user running Outlook (365 Apps).- A Public Folder for Contacts is currently added as an Address Book.

• User composes a new email. The displayed list is sorted by default (Name).
• User would like to be have it listed by Last Name.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.
