Samsung S5. Contact List Getting Scrambled and Duplicates. How Can I Stop This?

Samsung S5. Contact List Getting Scrambled and Duplicates

Why might my S5 contact list be getting scrambled?

The first letters of the contacts are displaced from the letter designations of the list. A, B, C etc.

I lost at least one contact.

Duplicates of the same contact now started showing up. When I deleted one, they both deleted.

Welcome to Android Central! Are the contacts associated with your Google account, or with the local Phone account?
