Hi
I've just upgraded to 2.7.5 mainly because I wanted to have Museremail sorted. We use this to list contacts on an RFC form and it's much easier to find the ones you want when they are in a predictable sequence. As an extension to this it would be great if they could be sorted by the last part of their real name - typical user, give him a sweetie and he wants jam on it!
cheers

That's a bit hard since different groups enter their names differently. While for a human it's easy to figure out what the family name is (usually), this must not be true for a computer. So I would propose that you enter the real names in the sequence family name, given name like
Ritt, Stefan
Doe, John
then sorting will work as you like.

Good point! However, the current sorting appears to be done on email address rather than name. Having the option to sort on name, where we are in control of the format so could structure it accordingly, would be great.
