Hello,

I have created a new address book within Kontact and filled it in with a list 
of student names.  I've tried to sort the list based on Reverse Name (<Last 
Name> <First Name>).

In looking over the list I realized that it was not in the same order as the 
official class lists.  Looking into this further, what I have found is that 
the sorting seems to be based on the entire string <Last Name>+<First Name>  
at once rather than on <Last Name> first and then <First Name> as a secondary 
criterion.

For example, (using made up names...)

The official list might have
...
Ma, Steven
Martinez, Rick
Mather, Thomas
...

but KAddresbook shows this as
...
Martinez, Rick
Ma, Steven
Mather, Thomas
...

based on the first three letters Mar, MaS, Mat even though MaS comes from
Ma, S(teven)....  

This is very reproducible as I can "move" Steven around in the list 
by "changing" his First Name :-)

This behavior is wrong IMHO, but I do not know if this is a bug or if there is 
a setting somewhere that controls this that I have not been able to find.

Anyone else seeing this?
I'm using 10.2, fully patched.
