Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Sort contacts by last name

A frequently searched option within the Android operating system on the Samsung Galaxy A5 is the sorting of the contacts after the pattern "last name, first name". So it is much easier to find a person in the address book, especially in business contacts.

At the factory, this is set to first name first. For this reason, here is the instructions on how to display the surname in the contacts app on the Samsung Galaxy A5 first:

1. To do so, start from the homescreen and open the contacts app there

2. Next, go to the three Points icon in the top right corner and from there on "Settings"

3. Here you will find the corresponding setting in "Name Format" - Now select "Last Name, First Name".

From now on you will seethe contacts in the contacts app with the last name displayed first. Tip: It makes sense to also sort by last name. In the same menu, select the item "Sorting" and there "last name". So that your Samsung Galaxy A5 is now optimally prepared to serve you as a business smartphone.
