Need ability to sort team members by FIRST name, not last.
Please allow us, when viewing members of a team, to sort the list of team members using FIRST NAME as the sort criteria, rather than last name.
Attached a screenshot of the view I'm referring to. I don't know everyone's last names right off the top of my head. It's very confusing trying to make heads or tails of this list when sorted by last name.

If everything else in Teams is going to be by first name (i.e. Participant list during a meeting and Class Notebook), then why isn't the Grade system?? I can set everything up to be organized the same EXCEPT for the Grade area. Being able to choose either by first or last name would really help out in all places.

As written, this request is out-of-date. There is no longer even the ability to sort by Last Name (or anthing) in Teams. Please see https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/36978721-sorting-team-members and vote for that more generic request.

Please please add this. It's impossible to manage larger team members without this feature

Please create the ability to sort by several options like Last name, First name, when added, title, and location.

Yes! What they said! When you have hundreds of people to manage, it town be a lot easier to have the ability to sort.

Skulle önska att det gick att lägga en fördröjdleverans på kallelser i Outlook.
Precis som det går att skicka fördröjd e-post så vore funktionen god att ha på kallelser också. -

Any alphabetic sorting would be better than the seemingly random order that's applied right now. TV adverts are exhorting us all to use Teams, so let's have a proper professional-looking user interface.

We need/want both. Most schools operate in the format lastname for marking, attendance. However when adressing students it is normally on first name, so you also want to be able to sort on first name also.

Please, we need to sort team members by last name, not first. Member sorting needs to be a user preference, not a global service setting for everyone.

Please please bring back this function. I'm sure you used to be able to sort by any of the fields for members... even location. That option has now disappeared. Please bring back!

I notice within my organisation that not having this option delays the adoption of Teams. Don't understand why this only has 12 votes. How many people are actually using the product?

For names, options are need to sort based on the use case: last name; first name; email address. The sorting implementation at my company is by first name, and that is useful less than half the time. Too often people are known by short forms or nicknames and not formal first names. #SortOptionsNOW!

It is very odd how TEAMS sorts the member list. It seams to be by the underlying email adresses, not the aliases. This leads to completely unsorted lists if you look at the alias lists that are displayed. Major bug.

This needs to be a user preference, not a global setting for everyone. The list is currently sorting for me by First Name, though I need it to sort by Last Name.

For me this is the default. The problem is that if you are sorting by first name, it should display first name first. In my case it displays the last name first and sorting by first name is almost useless. Bad UX.
Please default to sorting by whichever name is displayed first.

As we have the display names in Active Directory with surname first, I have the opposite problem. I can sort by first name but not be surnames. Ideally there would be some setting with in the Team GUI or the Office 365 admin panel where we could change the sort from surname to first and vice versa.
