Iphone4s; Contacts : I want to order my contacts through their first name

Good Day ! I just wanna ask if there is a possibility that i could sort my contacts through their first name because on my iphone (3Gs) it is possible.
Example : John Smith
                 Steve Jobbs
-What I actually would like to happen is that the name "John" will come first before "Steve" but in Iphone 4/4s, the order will be "Steve Jobbs" then "John Smith" because of their last name.
I've tried the solution, Settings -> Mail,Contacts,Calendars -> Contacts (then Sort and Display Order)
But the thing that I want still haven't solved. Is there any way that I could work this out?
I hope someone could help me/us solve this. Thank you ! Godbless.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, the only way to sort/display contacts on your phone is through those settings.

  • Contact with same first name as previous, overwrit...

    PC Suite 6.84. When I create a new contact with the same first name as an existing contact in PC Suite, and then I save it to the phone, the new contact info overwrites the old!
    For example:
    first name: Airlines
    last name: United
    So that entry is there.
    But then if I add:
    first name: Airlines
    last name: US Air
    The United Airlines entry is not longer there, only the US Air entry.
    I want "Airlines" as all the first names because then they should all be grouped together in the contacts list (sorted by 1st name).

  • Contacts - listed by first name, not last *!@

    OSX 10.3.9
    I have imported my contacts from my Address Book, but instead of listing alphabetically by last name, as they appear in the Address Book or when I import them into Palm, they show up Alphabetized by first name.
    How do I change this?

    In order to list the Contacts by Company Name as opposed to First/Last you have to save them as such on your Address Book on your computer first.
    Under each contact that you wish to list under Company, select edit and check the box under the First & Last name that says "Company". This will save you that view both on your Address Book and on the iPhone once you sync it again.
    Alternatively you can check the "This is a company" from the pull down menu under "Card". There may be a way to select all and do them all at once but I am not aware of it.
    Hope it helps.

  • Contacts sorting on first name after sync

    I have my address book set to sort by last name and all is well there. When I sync my contacts, the sort order changes to first name. Is there something I am missing?

    Murphy's law... As soon as you ask the question you find the answer. I found the Ipod settings for first/last and all is now ok on the iPod.

  • Sync ok but outlook 2003 contacts filed by first name

    I have a Treo 600 smartphone using the palm os and just bought BB Rim curve 8310. The sync went fine but all my contacts are filed by first name which is unacceptable.  The "file as field" in outlook does not come up in the advanced sync choices.  Please tell me how to change this.  Many thanks.

  • Contacts arranged by first name

    Is it possible to change the contact list so it list by last name instead of first name?  How?

    I know this isn't what you are looking for, but if you needed to find someone with a certain last name this would be helpful.  I love the voice capabilities with the Droid.  If you are looking for a friend with the last name Wilson for instance, simply press the microphone button on the home page and the say "Call Wilson" and it will give you a list of all of the people with the last name Wilson in your phone.  

  • Address Book contacts alphabetized by first name on ipod

    Using iTunes 7.6, I have synced my contacts from Address Book onto my ipod Nano (2nd generation.) They appear on the ipod, but using first name to sort (alphabetize). Very inconvenient! In Address Book I have Preferences set to sort by last name, although also set to have first name listed first. Why would it change when syncing to my ipod and how can I fix? Thanks in advance for help. I have searched discussions and Apple Support.

    Ha...as far as I can tell, the AB will not sort. Please post here if you find out otherwise!
    Also: can it "Look for Duplicate Entries" across selected groups? It doesn't seem like it!

  • C2-01-Contact Search using First Name

    Hello,
    Could someone please advise me on how to set the phone to show Contact/Names on first name basis. Currently it was set to Last Name, so whenever I seach I need to search last name.
    My old phone allows me search on first name basis but I can no longer find the setting on C2-01.
    You advise would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance. 

    great.!!!! But the search result is having a company partner.
    Why is it empty most of the time even a company partner is maintained.
    And let me ask about customer contact - account management and contact- -
    For this, the company partner is always empty.

  • How to order the contact list using first name alphabetically

    I have just imported my contact list and it has organised them elphabetically by the second name even if this does not correspond to a surname. for example kate Mobile comes up under M, and kate Home comes up under H. as most of my contacts are eiether stored as home or mobile this is useless.

    Settings>mail, contacts & calendars> scroll to the bottom and choose both your sort and display order.
    Though it would be better to just make one entry for Kate Doe and list all her phone numbers there.

  • Why are some contacts listed by first name others by last name.

    I synchronize my iPhone with an MS Exchange Server. Some contacts on my iPhone are listed by first others by lastname. I checked my Outlook - All contacts are the same!
    Does someone know this Problem?

    Unfortunately, I think that's just how android does it. I couldn't find a setting anywhere.

  • When I click an email address to "Add to Address Book", it ends up in my Contacts with the first name in the last name box (and vice versa)

    I have seen this posted before without resolution on one of the old operating systems.  Does anyone have a solution to this.  How to we get Apple to fix this if there is no solution?

  • Listing my contacts by the last name

    Right now my Droid phone lists all the contacts by the first name.  It is in sync with my google email contacts that are listed by the last name.  Can I change this so the contacts are listed by last name on my Motorola Droid.  I know I can easily do a search, but I prefer scrolling down by last name.  Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    Yes you can "sort" by Company Name BUT....you cannot "search" by Company Name -- when you try a search it just keeps searching in the "name" fields and does NOT return a Company Name.
    --if you know the name of the person you want to call (which you more than likely will) then searching by name is fine
    but
    --if you can't remember their name (or there are multiple names) but want to look up the company and then scroll through list of names at that company -- forget it -- I can't make it work.

  • Search Contacts by First Name (Nokia 6124)

    We have users with Nokia 6124 with contacts sorted in First Name order. Is there anyway of searching by first name rather than last name?

    Hi Inekar,
    I've bought the phone in replacement of my Blackberry. I was gone buy another BB but then had this N97 in my hands and i must say that this phone is amazing.  When i see what this phone can do for our business. Exchange, office applications, pdf, gps, ....  So for me it is a real must to have in business.  To buy this phone as private person to play around is a waste of money.  But of course you're right also that this phone is 100% multimedia.
