Ive been using Whatsapp for quite a while on my iPhone, for some reason, just recently the contact list is not in alphabetical order.
I have 494 Whatsapp contacts, its almost impossible to find contacts, any quick fix for this?
Paid app, not willing to delete and pay again.
 
Weird, mine are in alphabetical order.

You won't have to pay for the app again, only the data to download it.
 
The reason for this is because as your the people in your IPhone's contact list install WhatsApp they are added to your [Favourites]. Not alphabetically, but rather in the order of whoever installed the application first.

To refresh your contacts & sort them alphabetically, go to your [Favourites] on the bottom left hand side of the screen, and scroll up to the top of the list, dragging the list as low as possible.

You will see [Release To Refresh] with an arrow.

Release the list & your contacts should be sorted alphabetically now.

WooooHoooo!!!
Sorted thanks for the guide, however just go to the top, scroll or touch the "clock" to go up then just pull down and it refreshes.:)
Theres a search bar at the top, wish I knew this, wouldnt have to scroll up and down like a mad person!
All in order now!

494 contacts what the heck....

ye I know, way too many, 1120 contact in total.
