Two Contacts lists?

1.
I imported address book from OE. I have 'cleaned up' the list in the
'Contacts' folder (icon bottom left of WLM page). But the list I get when I
click on e-mail address to send msg is different?

2.
How do I get the e-mail name list in Last Name order?

Multiple contact lists. There is a local contact list which is accessed when
Windows Live Mail is not signed in to Windows Live services. Then there is a
contact list for each separate Windows Live ID.

E.g.: You have three different Windows Live Hotmail accounts, one in each
domain; 'hotmail.com', 'live.com', 'msn.com'. There are three different
Windows Live IDs right there. In addition, you used another web mail
account, say, 'yahoo.com', to sign up a Windows Live ID. And you used your
ISP email address to sign up yet another Windows Live ID. Now you have five
Windows Live IDs. Each is a separate account, and has its own contact list.
Windows Live Mail need not sign in to Windows Live Services. When not signed
in, there is a basic, local contact list. As well, five others, one for each
Windows Live ID.

Open the contacts list. Tap the [Alt] key. On the revealed menu bar select
"View". Select, "Show the last name first".

OK. I signed in to Live mail services. Now I have lost all Contacts! Do I
re-import? Do I have to export them first? Since I cant find them in Mail,
how would I do that?
