Sort contacts by last name
I would like to be able to sort contacts by last name first if possible.

The ability to sort a list of contacts seems to be a fundamental feature in any "contacts" functionality regardless of the provider. Proton, in regards to the ease/speed of adding this feature, would you consider this to be "low-hanging fruit" that could quickly and easily be resolved?

All of my contact lists are alphabetized by last name. I don't know why Proton chose to do otherwise, but it is very important to me that this be corrected. Please advise when this might be done.

I submitted this request several times over the past few years. What's it take to make it happen? Absolutely inexcusable to ignore such an easy and basic feature.
It would also be great to have the contacts as a standalone app and/or Mail widget.

It is about time to have this basic capability.
As a workaround, why shouldn't I just reverse the first and last names in the contact record?

I join the people here calling for this basic feature. It has been the sign of logical sorting for centuries.

It seems incredible that this option has not been implemented. Why would anyone want to sort by first name? This seems to be one that could be fixed with a very, very simple change in code or addition of a choice. Why is is that NINE YEARS has gone by and this has not been acted upon? Perhaps someone can tell me what the problem is ...? Additionally, is there a reason why I cannot update my address list except by deleting all contacts and reloading the list? You are not making this easy for us.
As I periodically contemplate whether using Proton Mail as my primary email account, this and the inability to exceed 100 names in a contact list remain the key stumbling blocks. This one perplexes me.

I paid for this? Such a basic feature, makes all the rest seem unimportant.

After all this time since initial requests from 2015, is this not an option yet?

Sort by name is an absoulut standard and request for an email program. Without this we cannot use it for business. Impossible.

Groups is all but useless r/n because of this missing capacity

I would like to be able to select whether I file my contact list by first name or by last name. Currently I can only find where contacts are filed by first name.

Proton Contacts is an absolutely great service thus far, except some improvements would be fantastic. Certainly, some of these thoughts are shared by multiple people, and some of them may be new to our brainstorm...
- create mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Linux
- create desktop apps for Linux, Mac, and Windows
- add multiple name entry fields, as opposed to just one, including for example, nickname, title, first, middle, last, Jr./Sr./etc.
- add ability to sort contact list by either first or last name
- add street address line 2 -

Would really love to be able to sort my contacts list by last name.

do not understand why sorting of contact names cannot be done on surnames.

The only way I can do this now is to reverse the placement of the names when entering them, but since there are over 100 already entered that is not a convenient method. There should be a means to sort names with either option: by last name or by first name.

It drives me BONKERS that Protonmail (which we LOVE otherwise), can only short contacts sorted by FIRST NAMES. We're not 12 years old. I have many contacts and NEVER, EVER think to look them up as "Bob" or "Sally." PLEASE ADD user-definable sorting categories to Contacts.
OR AT LEAST, permit sorting EITHER by first or last names. SHRIEK!

Ohne eine Sortierung nach Nachname, wie in ALLEN anderen Mailprogrammen schon ewig Standard, ist ProtonMail/Kontakte für Europa nicht zu benutzen und damit völlig wertlos.
Da spielt es auch keine Rolle, ob das in anderen Ländern anders gemacht wird.
Aber offenbar wird hier nur ein bestimmter Markt bedient. Wir kleinen, dummen Europäer können zwar voll bezahlen, bekommen aber nicht die gleiche Leistung. Schade. -

I think this is a serious issue. Everybody's phone book is arranged by last name. A lot of times you may not even know the first name. Having to type in a search each time is nuts.
