Can you sort contacts by first name?

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.

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.

I had this issue with Google's sync service as well, even when I have it set to specifically NOT replace the item(s) on my device. I have no issues syncing with Outlook and once they're fixed on the phone or in Outlook, they're fine, but Google's sync will not take the changes which is really annoying.
