When I open People, it opens with a long list of numbers only, until it finally gets to names. How can I get it to open with names, not numbers?

If any of your "people" are listed as numbers (ie. their names are, or start with, numbers) they will be sorted at the top. That's how alphabetic sorting works; numbers first, then letters.

Open People... Tap the # symbol to get the shortcut and then tap the letter that starts the name you want. Not what you are asking, but it might help save your sanity. ;)
