That's the way it works. Settings only apply to new Contacts. You'd have to
run code to change the fields for existing Contacts.

Hi there,

I always find difficult to change the sorting/displaying of the contact
from first name (the default I guess) to last name. When I succeed in
setting that, I have the feeling that the displayed names of the contact
are changed only for the new added contacts.

Have you got a hint ?

Best regards
