Contacts - Sorting by last name

[Whistler]

I've read that Android 2.2 allows you to sort your contacts by last name, but I can't seem to find a way to do this on the Droid 2.  It seems that the feature has been disabled either by Motorola or Verizon.  Does anyone know of any plans to restore this functionality?  Sorting by last name seems so natural -- it's a mystery why anyone would consciously remove it.

I haven't found out how to on the 2 yet

On the Nexus One it's

Open contacts --> Menu button --> View contact names as

I am unsure as I do not have a Droid 2 on hand, but am considering purchasing one sometime in the near future.  Of course above will vary between manufacturers since Some devices will have custom UI's built on top of Android.

That is not it on the 2... moto probably removed it.

Figured as much it wouldn't be there.  It does have "Ninja"blur on it.

Worst part of the phone... hardware is 10X better than Droid 1

Apparently Verizon has chosen not to allow sorting of contacts by last name.  This has got to be obvious mistake.  I'm in business and need this functionality.  Let's hope VWZ gets the message.

Simply not possible with the provided motorola contacts manager.
I know it isn't the same, but in contacts if you long press menu it will bring up the on screen keyboard, allowing you to filter the contacts list.
