Phone Contacts listing order

I moved files from android with Move to IOS. Contacts on iPhone are listed according to the last word. How can I change it to the FIRST word, be it someone's name, business, or anything else?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

How do I choose which order the Contacts app displays my many addresses? Whenever I apply for a job or to rent an apartment they want my address history which I am trying to simply keep them in my contact card in my iPhone but in order for that to work I need to be able to rearrange them into a certain order. I can’t seem to find a way to do that without writing them down, deleting them, and then entering them back in the new order. Am I missing something? This is a very powerful device, I’m sure there’s a way, anyone?

Open the Settings App. Scan down to Contacts. Choose the option you want from Display Order.
