User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 SeaMonkey/2.29
Build ID: 20140904220358

Steps to reproduce:

The "Name" sort bar in SeaMonkey v2.29 Address Book does not work. 


Actual results:

After upgrading to v2.29, all of my email addresses were out of name sort order. 


Expected results:

I normally sort the list by last name, first name. If I click on the Name header, it sorts in random order. If I click on the email address sort bar, it will sort the list properly by email address.
Others (mozilla.support.seamonkey's "v2.29's addressbooks not sorting correctly in its Name column?") and I (three SMs in updated Windows (XP Pro SP3 and 64-bit 7 EE SP1) and Linux (Debian stable's 64-bit contrib) are having the same problems. I have to click on another column like Nickname and then go back to Name (last, first) to sort correctly.

Regression caused by MailNews Core Bug 177206
Fixed in Bug 1024130 for Thunderbird 33 (SeaMonkey 2
Thunderbird 31.1.2 looks ok (without any issues like this, I mean).
SeaMonkey 2.29.1 still affected.
Behavior cofirmed. To get alphabetic sortment you have to switch to any other order, e.g sort by E-Mail-Adress, then sort alphabetic. Next start again more or less random-order starting with letter "b", "a"-Adresses and others placed random.
It looks like it was fixed for SeaMonkey 2.30 via Bug 1024130
