"I can't believe Apple doesn't provide a way to sort through blocked numbers. They need to fix that."

Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what their customers perfer, and what features to include in iOS versions to come.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that you wan this to be an option, and why. Include the URL of this thread.
4. Proceed from there aw necessary

"That's nice, but I'm using an iPhone, not a Mac."

Why to Use a Mac:

Well, if you want to search through it easily, doing so using a Mac is more user-friendly. You'll have a larger screen to scroll through. When using an iPhone, differentiating items is much more tougher to perform.
