Click on any one last name.
Then, Look for the Sort Ascending Button on the Standard Toolbar. It looks
like a Blue A above a Red Z. Click that button once.
--or--
Click on any cell in the phone list (such as a last name).
Go to Data | Sort.
Make sure it is selecting the Last Name Column in the Sort by position.
Click Okay.

I don't trust excel to guess the range to be sorted.

I like to select the range (only the last of headers) and then use Data|Sort.

(Sometimes excel guesses wrong and in earlier versions, it doesn't give any
warning message asking if the range should be expanded.)
