In the address book window, if a new contact is added to the displayed directory, it is added to the end of the list, instead of wherever in the list it should be based on the current sort order.

Theres two places we add cards to the list that need fixing. The comparator we use will need to be extracted for this purpose. Bonus points if finding the right place can be done by bisection rather than comparing every row.

There's much more here that needed fixing than I first thought. I've cached the cell texts for better performance (and cleared the cache when notified of an updated contact), switched to using Intl.Collator instead of simple string comparison, and added more testing. Arguably there's much more that needs testing, like sorting on different columns, but I have some confidence that that works.

Never mind, it's in comment 0

Worthy of follow up bug?

Still seeing this in testing 78.0b4.

Wow. I really screwed that up. What the hell was I thinking?
