4+ word long company name reversed order

Anmeldedatum: 03.12.2015 Beiträge: 8

Hello,

I have all contacts in Outlook 2013, and they sync OK.
Except when there is a company name consisting of four words:
Name1 Name2 Name3 Name4
'Files as' in Outlook shows:
Name1 Name2 Name3 Name4
Such a contact is shown in phone as:
Name4, Name1 Name2 Name3

Have I found a bug ?

Have you checked your contact display settings on the phone? It looks like you have them set to 'last name, first name' on the phone.

Yes, display settings are set to 'last name, first name' on the phone.

3 word company names are shown OK.

Its not a bug, it seems to be correct. The field "FileAs" does not exist in the phone so MPE splits the name by the last space into firstname and lastname

Any hints about how to have 4+ word company names correct?

Any hints

These are companies names, why not put them all into one field?

Like this:
Lastname "One Two Three Four"
Firstname " "

Hello everybody,

Thank you for the tips.

Moving the company name into last name and having first name blank, fixed my problem.
