I am creating a react native app to load phone book contacts to my app using this library. I loaded contact correctly in my app. But contacts not in alphabetically order. Now I wanted to load contacts alphabetically order. How can I do that?

You can modified library code. In Contacts.js file at line no 77, you will find getListOfContacts = () => {
. Once you are done with change and you fill this feature should be in this library, Please raise PR for the same.

What should I add as additional code? How to sort contacts? – Sidath Mar 30 '20 at 07:19

You can use lodash for sorting based on name. – Rajan Mar 30 '20 at 08:40

@Sidath, you need to write it. In contact.Js file not in tab2.js. – Rajan Apr 01 '20 at 05:17

yeah, I right it in contact,js file. I copied that code into my tab2.js file. and after I added the above code. But nothing changed. – Sidath Apr 01 '20 at 05:38

I added ` _.sortBy(arrFinal, 'fullname')` before `this.setState({ contactList: arrFinal, isLoading: false }) `. But nothing changed. I messed up with this code. – Sidath Apr 01 '20 at 08:55

I added your code also. `arrFinal = _.sortBy(arrFinal, 'fullname') this.setState({ contactList: arrFinal, isLoading: false }) this.arrayholder = arrFinal` . But it show "arrFinal" is read-only. – Sidath Apr 01 '20 at 09:31
