Cannot find Sort in Contacts App

[TBloch]

I have an S24 whose Contacts list was migrated from a S20 5G using the Transfer process. I want to sort and display items by last name. I've read a number of articles on how this is done, but I cannot find Sort in any Contacts menu.

Is this a bug?  Does some other setting need to be tweaked to get Sort to appear? Or was my list somehow corrupted during the Transfer process?

Any comments or advice will be appreciated.

Sort does not appear in either of those menus on my phone.

Do you have a Carrier locked phone ??

No, I bought this phone new and unlocked. Everything else in Contacts seems OK. Right now a name like Arnold Stang appears as Stang, Arnold, but is listed under A, not S.

Try this. Click on the 3 dots on the first screen shot

On my phone the Contacts Settings panel does not show the "Sort contacts by" or "Name format" items.

The Sort item does not appear on my Contacts Settings panel.

Here's my 2 screenshots showing sort by last name.

My Contacts has an Organize tab bottom right, image 1. Find Sort and you'll get image 2. At least on my phone...
