My S8+ is sorting wrong - sometimes

[Android Central Question]

My phone sorts under M for instance:

Medipost;
Medipost Profile
Dr Melt van der Spuy
Mercia Coetzee

The third entry belongs under D for Dr. I have various Dr entries, most of them are under D but a few are under the following word, "Melt" in this case.

Please help me. My contact settings are set to "Contacts with numbers only".

Thanks, Udo

I think most apps will not sort prefixes (like Dr., Mr., Mrs., etc.) and will ignore those for alphabetizing (just like 'THE' in movie titles). Not sure if the whole word (i.e. Doctor) would work as it wouldn't recognize as a prefix.
