There are 2 things that I do not quite understand about the apple operating system and that every year is updated to a new version, supposedly with improvements, and that these two issues that are day to day and that all people use at all times. One of them is the contacts app, can someone tell me why it has not been developed the possibility of being able to sort my contacts by several fields other than first and last name, for example COMPANY. Everyone can have several of the same names, for example, juan. But from different companies, and this information does not appear neither in the list of contacts nor as a possibility to sort. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE! So many cutting edge updates and improvements and this is still the same since the first day almost 20 years ago.

thanks

Have you looked for a third-party contacts app that does what you want?

Of course I have looked for it? And there are third party applications that do it, but why do I have to go to third party solutions when apple has hundreds of engineers in charge to develop such solutions that give us more flexibility in the day to day. I am not asking for anything complicated. It's something totally commonplace and simple to program.... Thanks for replying

You are asking your questions in the Apple Developer Forums, i.e. the forums for third-party app developers.

Please don't tell us that we should not exist and that your phone should come pre-installed with all the functionality you will ever need. Apple gave up on that after the original iPhone; the second iPhone added the App Store, and there is now a multi-billion-dollar industry of third-party developers providing the things that Apple doesn't.

I develop map apps. Personally, I'm very pleased that Apple Maps doesn't do everything that all users want. If it did, (a) I wouldn't have a job, and (b) their app would be so overwhelmed with features that users would struggle to use it.
