Link list help

Having issues with putting it in first name order. If i were to take out the code for the first name order it'll work in last name only, but it keeps pushing it into the report duplicate function instead. Any thoughts?

Ignore the Age order, that's next, once I figure out the firstName order, I believe it will be similar to get.

Below is the output that I'm getting:
