Oppo: Sort Call History by First or Last Name

The call history in the Google Phone app on Oppo devices follows one naming rule for the whole list. If some entries show a first name first and others show a last name first, the app is applying whatever rule was set last, and inconsistent name formats in your saved contacts make the list look messy.

This sorting option sits inside the display settings of the Phone app itself, not in the general ColorOS system settings, so it is easy to miss during a quick settings check.

To change it, tap Phone ➔ Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Display options ➔ Sort by, then choose First name or Last name.

Switching this option reorders every existing call log entry and any future calls right away. It does not rename or edit the underlying contact, so a contact saved with only one name field keeps its position no matter which option you pick.
