How to prevent WhatsApp from automatically sorting contacts after refresh?

Hi,

I am new to these forums, and happy to be here!

Here's my issue relating to WhatsApp:

When I was using WhatsApp on my BlackBerry, I used to refresh the contact list and the new contacts would be added to the bottom of the list and then I could sort the list manually using the "Sort" button in the WhatsApp settings. This way I got to know who were the new WhatsApp users who were added to my list by simply scrolling to the bottom of the list after every refresh (before I sorted the list manually).

But this feature seems to be missing in the Android version of my WhatsApp on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The list gets sorted automatically along with the refresh, thus depriving me of the chance to see the new additions to my WhatsApp list.

I don't want WhatsApp to automatically sort the refreshed contacts, so that I can come to know who are the new additions. How do I do this? Please help!

Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Android version: 4.1.2
WhatsApp Version: 2.9.1547

Thanks!
