Click directly on the column header you want to use as your sorting criteria in the Contacts table. 2. An arrow icon will appear next to the column header indicating the sort order: * **Upward Arrow (Asc):** Sorts in ascending order or from A to Z. * **Downward Arrow (Desc):** Sorts in descending order or from Z to A. contacts sort asc desc dropdown
