i would like to alphabetize the tag.php page results with custom fields i have created for posts

i have added “last-name” and “first-name” fields and i would like my results to be sorted by last, and then first.

in order to alphabetize the results, before the loop

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
i put

<?php
// sort alphabetically
$posts = query_posts($query_string .
'&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=-1'); ?>

the problem is that it is taking the first letter of the title.

need to figure out how to query the custom fields

thanks
