Can you sort contacts by first name?

[mcmi11ions]

I've tried to Google it, but only found files that are 3 or 4 years old. I'm not sure if those are still ok to use.

People suggested inputting the contact and swapping their first and last names...while that will work, i think it's kinda lame

Sure ... Go to details of which contact you need to change.
Select edit Contact.
Scroll to the bottom.
Use the more bar at the bottom.
Lastly select File as * and select the way you wish it displayed.

Hope I helped

I don't think so I've been doing it manually since the mogul days. If you figure it out please share.

im pretty sure if you active sync this and open contacts in outlook, im pretty sure outlook allows it, worth a shot, but i think that is correct...hope it helps

This program, TrineFix, might be able to do that for you. It's free.

Contact Changer does only that. Will convert all contacts to First Last or Last, First and can add the company name if wanted as well.

I use contact changer as well and it works until the next time you sync your contacts to your gmail through activesync. Everytime I sync my contacts I have to run the contact changer again because it doesnt stay put. I guess thats only a small annoyance.

Yes that's a problem with Google contacts, and won't change until they fix it on their side. If we all pester them about it, maybe they'll finally fix that, aaaannnndddd the downscaling they do with your contact photos (makes contact pictures look crap in anything bigger than a tiny icon. I use Google sync (via nuevasync.com) for email and calendar and M$ Myphone for contacts and everything else at the moment.
