913183 - contacts without name are not sorted correctly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Contacts, defect)

Description

[Ben Kelly [:bkelly, not reviewing]]

Currently if a contact does not have a last or first name (depending on the sort setting), you will often have them appear in the wrong order.  This occurs because the app relies on mozContacts to perform the sorting, which is only done on the name.  After the app performs normalization to show the org or email as the name, it does not apply any additional sort logic to find the right place in the list.

To reproduce create contacts with the following values:

  1) Family Name:  AAA
  2) Family Name:  AZZ
  3) Email:        [e-mail]

Close and kill the app after creating these contacts.  When the app is reopened the sort order should be 1, 3, 2.  Instead you will probably see either 3, 1, 2 or 1, 2, 3.

One possible solution would be to have mozContacts sort on the normalized name which would require bug 909948.  Alternatively, the app could perform its own insertion sort after normalization.
