Contact list won't list by last name

I have tried to organize my contact list multiple times by going to options and selecting organize by "last name" but it won't change. I've tried to reboot - it's frustrating... HELP!

This. I pretty much had to do the exact same thing after importing them.

I imported my contacts from my old Pearl. They are displayed with their last names in the "last name" slot and first names in the "first name" slot. I have checked all the fairly obvious stuff. It seems like my options selection "last name" is being over-ridden in some other screen or something... There are probably multiple places within the operating system to change this option and I'm not in the right one. HELP!!!

I had the same problem. Try to arrange by company first and than arrange by last name - worked for me

I can't believe I didn't try that! Thanks.

I had the same issue, and this worked for me as well.
