contactshistory
Hi I would like to organize my recent call list by number instead of the default sorting by date. Or I would like to see the list of previous calls & messages with a phone number.
Currently I am just going back in history to see if I received a call from someone in the past couple days. It will be great if order by phone number/contact option is available
I am using Iphone 5, iOS 8.4.0
Android phones are able to do this. It is quite useful
A custom label will have to suffice here. I have many contacts with their cell phones listed as 'mobile', and then a custom 'Google Voice' labeled number.
[edit]
An alternative to this is to make the change via Address Book.app on your computer, then sync the contacts to your phone.
Custom labels are available in all contact adding/modification screens.
First, browse to a contact, and tap the label name (to the left of a phone number, e-mail address, etc.). You will see the list of labels.
Second, swipe all the way to the bottom, and tap on "Add Custom Label".
Type in a new Custom Label;
And then it will be displayed next to the number.
It will now appear in a list of custom labels on later access.
You might want to reduce the font size. Go to Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Text Size and drag the slider to the left.
Unfortunately, this will change the font size in all apps that support dynamic font sizes but as far as I know, there’s no other option that would solve your problem.

Generally speaking, please include hardware and software information, e.g. iPhone 4s, iOS 7.1.2, when asking questions as not all features are available in all models and iOS versions.
That said, I do not believe you have a choice, at least I don't on my iPhone in the Phone app, however I have an app on my MacBook Pro (also available for Windows) called iMazing that I can sort my call history by All and Contact and by Date, Contact, Duration and Number. I can also export to Text or CSV files.
There may be a third-party iOS App that can do what you want right on the iPhone. callLog may be a possibility.
