The contacts app on your phone should automatically alphabitize the list, either by first or last name depending on your setting in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Sort Order. If it isn't doing this, some things you can try include:


  • Change the Sort Order setting then change it back
  • Force close the Contacts app: double-tap the home button, locate Contacts, swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it, tap the home button again
  • Reset your phone: hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release
