Default Design bug in phone book

The phone book in my new Lexus is infuriating. The Apple phone book has separate fields for first and last names and for company name. After I import the phone book and sort it by surname, this is how entries look:
First name: John
Last name: Doe
Result: Doe John
Company name: Doe Variety Store
Result: not imported
Company name: Doe Variety Store, Inc
Result: , Inc Doe Variety Store
I then tried duplicating the store’s name in the last-name field:
Last name: Doe Variety Store
Company name: Doe Variety Store
Result: Store, Doe Variety
It may be that the last approach would work if I sorted on first name but then to find John Doe I would need to sort through 57 Johns. There is a reason that printed phone books everywhere are alphabetized by surname, not first name.

Is this design bug exclusive to the model I bought, a 2016 GS? Can anyone suggest a way to induce Lexus to issue a patch for the bug?

A workaround is:

First name: Variety Store
Last name: Doe
Result: Doe Variety Store
