Re: display Reversed names of headers contact-list in imported Co

This is mostly cosmetic stuff, not a "workaround" for the real problem.

As I feared. :-/

I have found a workaround, which is to remove 'List Order' from the Contacts
View, and replace it by Fullname. If Fullname is the first View item then the
contacts are indexed on this, everything is in the correct alphabetic order,
and no "Reversed, words are." entries appear.

This seems to overcome the problem, though I would rate it as bodge rather
than proper fix, and I'm not yet sure if there will still be subtle issues.

Unfortunately, not possible on the phone though, as these options don't
exist. -unless anyone knows a registry hack?

Thx for reply anyway.
