Repeat the same steps if you wish to revert back to the default option. 

What is Display Order in iPhone Contacts?

Altering the display order is one way to make your iPhone contacts organized. Display order refers to how names of your contacts are displayed in your iPhone’s Contacts list.

You can set it to show either the first name followed by the last name or the last name, followed by the first name.

Sort order refers to the sequence in which your contacts list is organized either by the first name’s first letter or the last name’s first letter. Display order on the other hand refers to how each contact name is displayed. 

Please note that names in some languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean follow a fixed order and won’t be affected with these settings.

Other Ways to Organize iPhone Contacts

Aside from sorting contacts by name, you can also organize your iPhone contacts by creating a dedicated contact group. You can get this done using your registered iCloud account. 

And that’s how you change the display name order on the iPhone 14 contacts application.
