I've never used Outlook, but this is what I think you are looking for.
In the Address book, there is a popup with "Name contains" at the top right
of the window. You can select by category and company. You can also do this
by clicking on the column header for categories and company. If those
columns are not showing, you can add them under View --> Columns.
If you click on the column headers it will sort by that category. For
example if you click on Name it will sort by a-z and if you click again it
sorts by z-a.
The Address Book displays the names as FirstName LastName, but they are
sorted in alphabetical order by LAST name, not first name. Click on the Name
column and you'll see for yourself.
