Hi-
You'll need to modify the displayName attribute on your user objects such that they're "Last, First".Active Directory, 4th Edition - www.briandesmond.com/ad4/

The GAL uses the Display Name attribute from AD, so you will need to modify the values for existing users and ensure your provisioning procedure is adjusted for new users if you want to change it.
There are a number of ways to modify the displayName attribute for existing users. One of the easiest for performing bulk operations is to use ADModify.NET.
