easiest way would be using sort +pos1 -pos2 ( man sort ). However, first you need to convert your file in column aligned format, so that both surname and name columns begin in known position.

VGS(8) System Manager's Manual VGS(8)
NAME
vgs - report information about volume groups
SYNOPSIS
vgs [--aligned] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--nameprefixes] [--noheadings] [--nosuffix] [-o|--options
[+]Field[,Field]] [-O|--sort [+|-]Key1[,[+|-]Key2[,...]]] [-P|--partial] [--rows] [--separator Separator] [--unbuffered] [--units
hsbkmgtHKMGT] [--unquoted] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]]
DESCRIPTION
vgs produces formatted output about volume groups.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--aligned
Use with --separator to align the output columns.
--nameprefixes
Add an "LVM2_" prefix plus the field name to the output. Useful with --noheadings to produce a list of field=value pairs that can
be used to set environment variables (for example, in udev (7) rules).
--noheadings
Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of output. Useful if grepping the output.
--nosuffix
Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with --units (except h and H) if processing the output.
-o, --options
Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with '+' to append to the default selection of columns. Column names
are: vg_fmt, vg_uuid, vg_name, vg_attr, vg_size, vg_free, vg_sysid, vg_extent_size, vg_extent_count, vg_free_count, max_lv, max_pv,
pv_count, lv_count, snap_count, vg_seqno, vg_tags, vg_mda_count, vg_mda_free, and vg_mda_size. Any "vg_" prefixes are optional.
Columns mentioned in either pvs (8) or lvs (8) can also be chosen, but columns cannot be taken from both at the same time. Use -o
help to view the full list of fields available.
The vg_attr bits are:
1 Permissions: (w)riteable, (r)ead-only
2 Resi(z)eable
3 E(x)ported
4 (p)artial
5 Allocation policy: (c)ontiguous, c(l)ing, (n)ormal, (a)nywhere, (i)nherited
6 (c)lustered
-O, --sort
Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces the default selection. Precede any column with - for a reverse sort on
that column.
--rows Output columns as rows.
--separator Separator
String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the output.
--unbuffered
Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the columns properly.
--units hsbkmgtHKMGT
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable, (s)ectors, (b)ytes, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes. Cap-
italise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g. --units 3M
--unquoted
When used with --nameprefixes, output values in the field=value pairs are not quoted.
