You can choose to sort contacts by last name, first name, or company name. If a contact
entry does not contain the name you choose to sort by, the contact entry is sorted by the next
available name.
For example, if you choose to sort by last name, then first, and the contact entry does not
include a last name, the entry is sorted alphabetically by first name. If the contact entry does
not contain a first name, the company name is used to determine the sort order.
The following chart summarizes what happens to the sort order in the three sorting
alternatives when a field is empty:
Choose...
Last, First
First, Last
Company, Last
