Question Phone app - Contacts sorting by Last Name - Realme GT 2 Pro

In the Contacts tab of the Phone app I select "three points", then "Settings" -> "Display options". Then I set
Sort by - Last name
Name format - Last name first
Nevertheless, the contacts are always displayed being sorted alphabetically by First name! Irrespective of the setting "Sort by".
Phone ver. 82.0.448635518
Device model RMX3301, build RMX3301_11_A.16
realme UI 3.0
I hope, that annoying "feature" can be repaired.

I have Google contacts. To display by last name in Google contacts choose Fix & Manage at the bottom of the screen. Choose settings. In the settings screen set Sort by to LAST NAME and also set name format to LAST NAME first.

Thanks. Yes, I am using the Contacts app, and in it the sorting is correct in accordance with the mentioned settings.
But my question is about the Phone app. It has "Contacts" tab in it. It behaves independently of the Contacts application. It would be convenient if it was working correctly as well.
Perhaps somebody knows how to fix it. Or, I hope, developers read this and repair the bug.

In display options (in the phone app) I choose sort by last name and name format last name first and this works for me.

P.S. I asked a friend with another smartphone, which is not Realme, but Android 12. In his device the Google Phone application sorts contacts correctly, as the user setting prescribes. I suspect, the problem is related to Realme UI rather than the Google Phone application itself.

Oh, thanks for checking! It is astonishing that in my case the setting is ignored. I have all the latest updates installed.

I do have exactly the same issue with my realme GT 2: contacts are not sortable by name in Phone by Google app (contacts tab), even if properly set in parameters.
It does work correctly in Contacts app.
Phone app is 90.0.477356402 and my GT 2 is in its latest realme UI 3 update (RMX3311_11_A.20).
Has anyone find a solution ?

I haven't. I think the best way would be to reach the developers., but I don't know how. It's interesting if this "feature" is due to some of our settings or not. However, I have no time to play with it, i.e. to reset the phone completely to the factory state to check if the behaviour remains the same.

I'm now on Android 13 C12 and this bug still isn't fixed.

I use Google dialer and it doesn't register this problem.
Ak je kontakt uložený správne, funguje mi to.
Edit:
I understood after reading the first post. Contacts are still organized by first name.
