Default Problems with the format of contact names

Since migrating to Office 365 I'm having a small issue with the format of contact names.

In existing contacts, someone like Bill Smith (First name Bill, second name Smith) shows as Bill Smith in the Full Name field - as it should.

I can then choose how to file it, in the File As field.

That all works as it should.

The issue is with new contacts that I create.

If I enter Bill as the first name, Smith as the second name, the Full Name field is populated with Smith Bill.

This doesn't make a huge difference except it disrupts a mail merge which puts Smith Bill on the envelope !

I have checked the first name and second name fields themselves - they are correct.

How do I adjust how the Full Name field displays ?

PS I tried editing the Full Name field itself . . . that looked OK but then I found it had swapped the First name and Second name around to Smith and Bill !
