iPhone/Comand Question

When my new iPhone 7's phone book is uploaded to the Phone menu in the comand, it displays all my contacts LastName, Firstname. All of my old BT equipped flip phones displayed the phone book entries on the comand screen Firstname, Lastname.

Is there a way to change my display of names back to Firstname, Lastname?

Does it display this way in the phone as well? Or do you have it displaying in the phone as First name, Last name?

you can not change it to first name, I downloaded my phone book to a csv file then used excel to move the first name column in front of last name and save the file to USB. Then I uploaded the file into the command phone book

ios 10: The Sort order and Display Order in the phone are set to First Name, Last Name, which the phone does display as such.

Its probable that the Comand just imports as Last, First. I can see no way to change it in the comand anywhere.

(I just recently found how to increase/decrease the Bluetooth volume of the phone going thru the head unit so as to more evenly set the volume across all forms of infotainment the comand handles.)
