Is there a way to separate these field "full name" into 2 fields?

    I have some forms that allow people to enter full name. When I pull up the submissions, there's only one column for the full name, but I would like to sort by last name. Is there a way to separate these field "full name" into 2 fields so that I can sort?

    The only way is to create a Full name with separate short text fields:

    Here is a demo form: https://form.jotform.com/80604443380956

    Could that work for you?

    My question was really whether I can separate the responses after I’ve received them.

    In submissions page, I'm afraid it is not possible, but if you export to Excel, full name will break in two columns:

    Could that work?

    Thank you!

    Thanks. I was hoping there was a way within JotForm. I’ve been doing it in Excel, so I’ll continue doing that. Thanks again!
