Is there a way to sort customers by last name without having the last name show up first on the invoice?

I would like the customer names in "Invoices" and "Customers" tabs to be sorted by last name.  Our company does not want the invoices to say, "Last name, First name" on the invoices and that seems the only way to get an alphabetical sort by last name.  Sorting by first name is pretty much useless for us as everything we have regarding customers is sorted or sortable by last name, except for QB.  Thank you so much for your help on this!

Thanks for getting back here and adding more details about your concern, osouthpools-gmai.

 

QuickBooks Online always uses the first name when sorting out the list in both the Customer and Invoices tab. Although, you can export the list to Excel so you can add more customisation to the list. 

 

Just click the Export icon to download your data. Then, use Excel's function to sort out the list using your customer's last name.
