Display name on text messages - back to front

Every text message I recieve on my 7610 seems to display the sender name backwards (i.e. Mobile Richard instead of Richard Mobile)

I have the contacts set up right whereby the name displays as I want it (set to first name last name) but for some reason it puts the second name first when it displays who sent me an SMS

Any ideas how to fix this anyone?

Thanks in advance 😊

just put the entire name under the default "last name" field

That only changes how the contacts are displayed, not how the text message title is displayed unfortunately

yes it seems that option only applies to the display of the contact list.

seems the only way of doing this is to put full name in a single field - bit of a pain if you already got loads of contacts set up with separate name entries.
