We should compare lower case letters in:

The way we generate the string to compare in gaia doesn't give us the right result all the time. This is only used when we create a new contact and the order is right after restarting the app.

We combine given and family name to create the sort string and this can result in wrong sorting.

for example:
existing contact has given-name: 'ab'
insert given-name: 'a', family-name: 'c' we create 'ac' as sort string

this results in an order where 'a' comes after 'ac'
