Stupid Noob Question

[tjhooker74]

OK, I am about to pull my hair out with andriod and the my new EVO. I am not stupid with this stuff normally. I had the TP and TP2 and i personally unlocked both and flashed countless ROMS so I know my way around phones but this is my 1st Android and I am a little lost. I can't seem to find where I can adjust some basic settings on the phone. I feel retarded for asking these questions.

1. How do I set apps to install on the SD Card? There has to be some sort of settings somewhere. Can't find it.

2. I can't figure out how to sort my contacts by their last name and not 1st name.

I guess this is all kinda the same problem in a sense. I can't figure out how to customize my EVO's settings. I have gone in the settings app but I can't seem to find where to adjust these things.

Any help is appreciated.
