Loading All Contacts

Currently I’m using a FlatList to display contacts. It is slow, because my users want a sorted list (don’t blame them). This requires retrieving all of them in one go, because the current API does not sort them.

This slowness basically makes the API useless to me, I am now resorting to creating my own contact list, and trying to keep it in sync in the background, which is quite an ordeal frankly.

How do other people solve this?
