When it comes to storing our contacts on the iPhone, it is likely that if we continue to inherit ancient customs from the old telephones, in which we could only add the name and the telephone number, our agenda only orders the contacts that we have stored by name. But if we have known how to adapt, possibly our agenda is ordered by name, surname, landline, mobile phone, company name, position ...
Natively, every time we reinstall iOS on our device or renew our iPhone, iOS It shows us the contact list ordered by the contact's last name instead of by the name, something that for many users can become a problem, especially if there is no way to find the contact we have stored due to the surname.
Fortunately, iOS allows us to modify the order in which the contacts are displayed. In this way, the names in our contact list will be displayed, first showing the name of the same followed by the surname. To modify, which for many users can become a nuisance, we must perform the following steps:
- First, we head up Settings.
- Within Settings, we go to the fifth block of available options and click on Contacts.
- Next, click on Order to change the order in which contacts are displayed. By default, iOS shows us the contacts ordered by last name. To show the name we must first select Name last Name.
It would not be bad if sometime, in future updates, Apple allowed us expand the number of options when displaying contacts, allowing us, for example, to show the contacts by companies, something that many of us who regularly use our iPhone for work would undoubtedly appreciate, without having to resort to third-party applications.
