Description Eric Abrahamsen 2010-03-26 09:50:19 UTC 
I'm adding Chinese contacts to Evolution, using Chinese characters. The sort as function sorts by their surnames, but unfortunately according to (I guess) the unicode code point of the Chinese character -- not very useful.

The vCard format apparently has an x-phonetic-last-name extension, perhaps we could make use of that and allow it to be used for sorting?
