Description Paul Bryan 2005-01-21 22:58:52 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When sorting the contacts by File As in ascending
order, the entries are not lexicographically
ordered. Names beginning with a lower-case letter
follow names beginning with Z.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a contact: "Zoolander, Derek".
2. Create another contact: "de Marco, Juan".
3. Display list of contacts in card view, or table
view, sorted by "File As".

Actual Results:
Zoolander appears before de Marco.

Expected Results:
de Marco should lexicographically appear before
Zoolander.

How often does this happen? 
Always.

Comment 2 Paul Bryan 2005-02-19 17:59:35 UTC 
This is not a duplicate of 69429. That is another bug in Evolution,
whereby if you specify "File As" as the sort order, it does not
actually store that sorting preference, nor does it attempt to sort by
that field.

In this bug, if you force sorting by clicking on the heading in the
table list, it does sort. It just doesn't sort lexicographically. At a
minimum, sorting should be case insensitive.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-03-31 17:38:53 UTC 
a bit related to bug 273870
Comment 4 Paul Bryan 2005-03-31 20:34:57 UTC 
Agreed. This is probably closely related to bug 273870 -- these bugs
should both be solved if proper lexicographical (and
internationalized) sorting were employed, rather than binary sorting
as seems to be the case now.

Fix committed to CVS head.
Comment 7 Paul Bryan 2006-01-12 02:40:11 UTC 
Just adding a comment to state this bug still exists in version 2.4.2.1. I see that the fix is targeted for 2.5, so this makes sense.
Comment 8 Paul Bryan 2006-12-29 05:00:25 UTC 
I am currently using 2.6.3, and confirm it is fixed.
