• Not sure this helps. It isn't exactly what you asked from what I can see but this call does accept Titanium.Contacts.CONTACTS_SORT_FIRST_NAME and Titanium.Contacts.CONTACTS_SORT_LAST_NAME to control the order of members in a contact group.

• While I don't know if Titanium has it build in, you can always take the returned object and then sort it yourself using a custom javascript sort. Try googling javascript sort and also look here the numeric sorting towards the bottom is a custom sort. Just use the field you want to sort by and do something like a.LastName - b.LastName.

  Here's a sort I implemented on the old contacts api

      contacts.sort(function (a, b) {
          var firstA = a.firstName.toLowerCase();
          var firstB =  b.firstName.toLowerCase();
          var lastA =a.lastName.toLowerCase();
          var lastB = b.lastName.toLowerCase();
  
          return ((firstA < firstB) ? -1 : ((firstA > firstB) ? 1 : ((lastA < lastB) ? -1 : ((lastA > lastB) ? 1 : 0))));
      });
  

• var people = Titanium.Contacts.getAllPeople();
  people.Contacts.CONTACTS_SORT_LAST_NAME;
  
  //Titanium.Contacts.CONTACTS_SORT_LAST_NAME
  

  I am trying to get the var people to return a sorted list of contacts.
  what am I doing wrong?
