iPhone Phonebook Import

Okay. I was a little scared about complications using the COMMAND SYSTEM to import my iPhone phonebook on my new 2012 GL450, but while the system is not user friendly compared to the iDrive on my M3, I didn't have any trouble importing the phonebook from my iPhone. However, unlike my M3, which gives me the option on how to organize my contacts -- e.g., by first or last name -- on my GL450, there does not appear to be any options. In other words, I can only list it as LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. Is this right? Appreciate benefiting from the experience of others.

Thanks

Which iPhone do you have?
How were you able to import the contacts into COMAND? Bluetooth?
