New guest list

The new guest list organizes itself alphabetically by first name and it drives me nuts. Does anyone know how to change it to alphabetize by last name? Thanks!

    Hi Sarah! You can't change the order sort to alphabetized by last name, but you can sort your guests for each event by Group, by their meal choice, by their table (if you've placed them on the seating chart), and by their RSVP status!

    This annoys me too, it means you can't see family groups. So for example my cousin, his wife and his three kids are all spread out on the list. Takes so much longer than is necessary. Having names in last, first name order would be so much easier

    I agree! It took a lot of time, but I actually went through and switched everyone's first and last name. So it would be in order by last name. It worked, and helped. But yeah took a lot of time.

    This is the most ridiculous thing ever that you can't sort the names by last name now. It was perfectly fine before - why change it?

    Hi Tina! Our Guest List tool does not currently support sorting by guest's last names but I am happy to share this feedback with our Development Team!

    This is causing me a lot of problems. I have two guests lists going and I can't see them alphabetized side by side to make sure they match for our caterer. It's the reason why I'm migrating over to theKnot.

    I wish I knew this before doing my seating chart. A complete waste of my time. Never Again! Highly annoyed!

    Alphabetizing guests by last name should be an option. If I download the information to excel it will alphabetize correct? Then I can make my seating chart using the excel sheet?

    Sorting by first name is dumb.

    Withjoy and Wix which both use rsvpify.com do not organize by first name because no one does that
