Contact sort by last name - Am I missing something?

Anyone find an option to sort contacts by last name. I've been all up and down this phone and can't find such a setting.

I just did this. Went into phone >contacts >Menu>scroll down to settings then choose sort by last name and list by last name. Worked for me.

Go into Contacts, hit the menu button and choose settings. Then you should see the option to change the sort.

Scroll! Ah ha! I hit menu, didn't see it on the list, but didn't try to scroll down the list.
Duh.

Just tried the sort idea to get last name first. Unfortunately my old phone was set to do last name first when it was transferred to my new GS3. Now my new entries are First name last. Trying to change to Last name first jumbles the original names. Any idea, other than redoing the entire list?

Try sorting by first name last and moving the first last name to the first on the list. Then transpose first and last names, sort by first name first, then once again by first name last/last name first.

This is genius. The menu list within "Contacts" is just one line too long to reveal the "Settings" function. You have to scroll up one line to see "Settings". Then... you can set the way the Contacts list is displayed. What user friendly smart *** designed this one?
