    It should sort your contacts alphabetically by default, but if you want to sort them by the first name instead of the last, you can do so by going to Settings and then to Contacts. Then there should be an option so change the sorting order.

    Hold onto the app block until it starts to shake. Drag it to where you want it to be, and let go. If you want it on the next page, hold it at the edge of the screen until it moves to the next screen.

    When I try to sort contacts from first to last, it doesn't work. It's still showing last to first. What can I do?

    Just keep trying about every 5 or 10 minutes as your iPhone may not realise what you are pressing. Or, you could try turning your iPhone off and on again. Or, you could press last to first and try to trick it into saying first to last.
