Duplicate values do not prevent a query from returning sorted results, so that seems quite irrelevant. 

If you are sorting by names, you probably should be sorting by last name then first name, yes.  Of course, even then you could have duplicates.  I think the question itself may have lost something in translation for the forums.

Just sort it by last name and then first name =/
