290965 - Japanese version of Address Book cannot sort contacts by furigana (japanese phonetic sign)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[yemura]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; ja-jp) AppleWebKit/312.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/312
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 (20041206)

Japanese version of Address Book has furigana (japanese phonetic sign) field for last name and first 
name of a contact.
But, current build of Thunderbird cannot choose the furigana field for sort key. Sorting by furigana is 
highly needed in Japan.
I'm not sure but I think Outlook Express does not support sort by furigana, and Outlook 2003 supports 
it. So, if Thunderbird supports this feature, it will be an advantage for Outlook Express.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Thunderbird
2. Open Address Book
3. Choose sort column
Actual Results:  
Furigana (japanese phonetic sign) is not selectable.

Expected Results:  
Furigana (japanese phonetic sign) should be selectable.
