This wikiHow teaches you how to alphabetically sort your contacts by their last names in the Contacts app.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open your iPhone's Settings. Do this by tapping the grey gear icon on one of your iPhone's Home screens (the Settings app may be in a folder entitled "Utilities").
  2. 2
    Scroll to the fifth group of options and select Contacts.
  3. 3
    Tap Sort Order.
  4. 4
    Select Last, First. Your contacts will rearrange to reflect their last names in alphabetical order.
    • If there's already a checkmark next to Last, First, your contacts are already being sorted by their last names.
