Research direction

Start by tracing how the “Start name with surname” option is applied in the Contacts list, then compare the name formatting used in Call History. The issue does not identify files or tests, so locate those entry points in the app and check whether they use the same setting. Done when enabling the option displays surname-first names in both Contacts and Call History.
