Default prevent OL2003 to use a semi-colon as separator in fields?

it seems that outlook automatically orders the different members of the "list" in alphabetical order:

Nana, Fatou, Izra and Uma
is interpreted as
(Nana) (Fatou) (Izra and Uma)

and after ordering, it becomes
(Fatou) (Izra and Uma) (Nana)

Is there any way to prevent outlook from automatic ordering this 'list'?

regards,
bart

correct.
I am using an english version, but with "belgium" regional settings.
Changed the list separator to ',' and the conversion from ";" to "," is
skipped.

Still have another problem:

if I enter
Nana, Fatou, Izra en Uma,

I get
Fatou, Izra en Uma, Nana

So the first name is move to the last place.
is there a solution for this?

You are using a non-English version of Outlook, and it wouldn't surprise

me
if it is some International setting somewhere. If it were happening to

me,
I'd look in Control PanelDate, Time, Language, and Regional
OptionsRegional and Language OptionsCustomize and check the "List
separator" setting. I know that a "German" setting uses a semi-colon as

a
list separator.
