    1. go to the setting and tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars opting
    2. Now in there scroll down you see the contact section
    3. Tab the contact section you will see the sorting order as you want


    That it you will notice that the contact is sorted accordingly in contacts app

    Hey that Is not the problem it very simple all you have to do is go to the preference under that go to the phone and in that on the contacts there you will see the Sort Order Last, First . just that select either of one that you want your contact to be sorted on and you would be good to go

    Yeah I had this similar issue and it stared for me after I deleted all data from the setting . no matter what setting keep display order always remain the same and after resetting the phone everything works find and for that all you need to do is hold the Sleep button with the Home button until the apple logo displays that it every problem went away hope this will help you also

    Cheers

    I have this issue and when I Google I got the fix on this though I would share this

    Restart the handset the phone. Shut off totally, then restart it back on.

    however opening contacts displayed the previous sorting method. Restarting the handset with no another changes repair it.

    Seems as I was able to way out the entire Contacts list by doing the a hard restart of the iPhone. All you have to do is holding the power button for about the 10 seconds to fully power shut down and then pressing once more to restart again did the trick. It at the moment sorts by last name.

    If you observe the entire your contacts sort with the last name first on your iPhone, ? It’s for the reason that by default, iPhone sort contacts by Lastname. You be able to in fact make your contacts show according to first name if you do the changes on the contact setting
