 I've tried to put my favorites in alphabetical order on my phone, but I can't. I've tried to do settings, but there's none to do this.
 Also for some reason this keyboard double spaces without my doing it. I can't afford a better phone. This is Galaxy a16

Okay. Sorry about that. I was around when they used rotary phones. This is still new to me

I was around then too but do have some tech knowledge. Did anything work? I remember using party lines.

If I think of something else I will reply. Maybe someone else will come up with something. ๐Ÿ™

I did find this.
Unfortunately, Samsung doesnโ€™t give an automatic sort option for the Favorites list in Contacts/Phone. The Favorites section is meant to be a โ€œspeed dialโ€ area, so it only shows contacts in the order you added them.

I mean I remember party lines. Nothing is working on this phone. I was going to go back to the Samsung contacts app, but I can't find it. I'm thinking about turning this phone off before I get mad and throw it against the wall. I can't find anything

@DeDe6 Open that menu and select "View by storage location". Then select "All contacts".
