Records are usually sorted in the [Module] list view based on the name format. However, if you prefer to have a sort pattern that is independant of the display name format, you can set this preference under sort order preference.

While creating a custom list view for a module, you will find a field called Full Name under Available Columns. This is a combination of the First Name and Last Name. This can be pushed to Selected Columns. Once used in a list view, the Full Name field will be displayed as Lead Name and Contact Name in the Leads and Contacts modules respectively.
