Description Michael Wolf 2004-10-12 04:15:08 UTC 
In some countries (Spanish speaking ones, that I'm aware of, and possibly
others) people's names are presented Given Paternalsurname Maternalsurname,
but are sorted by the paternalsurname.  

Currently, you're only presented the option of filing contacts as First,
Last or Last, First, but in some cases, Middle is correctly "Last".

The easy workaround is to artificially hyphenate names; a better solution
might be to offer more choices on how to file the contact, although that
wouldn't work well for people with really long names.
