Contacts alphabetical list by last name

[Guest twrock]

I'm trying to figure out why in my Tre based rom, I've got contacts listed in alphabetical order by last name, whereas in FLB rom it is alphabetical by first name. Replacing Calendar.apk Contacts.apk and Calendarprovider.apk ContactsProvider.apk did nothing to change this. Any ideas? Am I just missing something simple like a setting I haven't noticed?

Edit: the tiny, little, incidental, unimportant typos.

Calendar.apk and Calendarprovider.apk ? :lol: :)

try flashing another "contactprovider, contacts, and phone app set" all together

Phone.apk has nothing to do with the contacts. Contacts and ContactProvider do though :lol:

Ok, you guys, enough laughing at me. I did it right,.... I just typed it here wong. :) (And it's not nice to make fun of old people.) :lol:

So, now that I have clarified that, do you have any ideas for why replacing Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk doesn't do it? Might this be a cache issue? Something else completely out of the box?

I'd be interested if anyone finds a fix for this ... when I synced my address lists from an old Lotus organizer db to Outlook then to gmail then to Pulse I found everything sorted by first name and assumed that I must have got something wromg somewhere along the line!
