Last contact opened instead of alphabetized list

Since updating to iOS 14, whenever I open Contacts, the last contact dialed shows instead of the alphabetized list on my Xs Max. Doesn't happen on my wife's X. I'm now running 14.2, so I'm current. I did notice similar problems mention in this forum dating back to iOS 13. I have tried the remedial steps suggested there without success. Is this a problem with my phone or with Apple?

Be aware of the process you use when exiting Contacts.


I use iOS 14.2.1 (with an iPhone 12 Pro). When I open Contacts, I get the alphabetical list. But that's because I carefully close all contacts when exiting the app, from either Contacts or the Phone app using the Contacts. If I fail to do that, I would see the last referenced contact.
