How do I sort my names in a contact group by surname first.

Have you tried clicking on the surname column header?

When I open up the group there is no column header. I must be doing
something wrong.

In the Contacts folder:
Change the View to "Details".
Right-click on the "Name" column heading, click on "First Name", then click
on "Last Name"
Click on the "Last Name" heading to sort by that, or click on "First Name"
heading to sort by that.

In a Create Mail window:
Click on To:
Click on the "Name" column heading... it cycles thru 4 different sorts

In the Contact Properties:
click on the down arrow at the end of the Full Name box

I followed what you say Dave until I get to " In the Contact Properties:
click on the down arrow at the end of the Full Name box" I cant seem to
find properties.

When you open a contact for editing, that is the Properties.
For the the Full Name, you can change how it is displayed:
First Last
Last First
Last, first
