When using multiple address books the books are sorted by creating order. First
created book on top and so on. IMHO it would MUCH 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. The books seems sorted by creation date but certainly not by name

Actual Results:  
The address books are sorted by creating date it seems

Expected Results:  
The address books should be sorted by name like anywhere else like the folders in TB.
I have around 20 address books and this is a real pain.

This is so user unfriendly.
Thanks to fix it.
