[muglo] Re: sorting address book

William,

I have a conjecture.  If there is a blank at the beginning of the name,
that entry will be sorted to the top of the list.

If you have names
" John" "Smith"
"Adam" " Wilson"
then sorting by first name will put John before Adam
and sorting by last name will put Wilson before Smith.

I wonder if this is your problem.
