When using multiple adress books the books are sorted by creating order. First
created book on top and so on. IMHO it would increase the usability if the books
are sorted by there names in alphabetic order.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create multiple adress books
2. Take a look in TB's adress book
3.

Actual Results:  
The adress books are sorted by creating date

Expected Results:  
The adress books should be sorted by name

There is a manual workaround for this problem. See bug #275485 Comment #2.

This bug is basically asking for what (the now) core address book bug 158062 
(changing the order of address books) and mentions in comment 5 on that bug 
(sort alphabetically). Therefore I'm duping this to that one, as if we do it 
then that bug will probably do both.
