A. The “People” or “Contacts” app on your phone lets you edit the information within a particular entry on screen, but if you want to change the way the entire address book behaves, you need to tinker with its overall settings. On an Android phone, for example, open the People app, tap the Menu button and choose Settings. On Windows Phone 8, swipe in from the left edge of the Start Screen to Settings, then go to the Applications menu and choose People. On an iPhone, tap the Settings icon on the Home screen and select “Mail, Contacts, Calendars.” Once you get into the settings area for the app, you should see the options for choosing both the sort order — as well as the display order — for viewing the names on your contacts list. Some phones may also give you other settings to adjust, like the ability to show contacts from online services along with those you imported onto your phone. Q. A.
