Description:
"Order by last name" will stop functioning in contacts. This occurs if the user taps on a contact to message them, goes back to the contact app, deletes that same contact and then taps on the "Order by last name" option.

Repro Steps:
1)  Updated Buri to Build ID: 20131204004003
2)  Ensure the test phone has a large number of contacts on it. Use the script to add 2000 contacts.
3)  Tap on the "Contacts app" icon.
4)  Tap on any contact that has a phone number.
5)  Tap on the "Messages" icon by the phone number.
6)  Once the new message is opened in the messages app, press the "home" button on the phone.
7)  Tap on the "Contacts app" icon.
8)  Tap on the "Edit" button on that same contact from before.
9)  Scroll to the bottom and tap on "Delete contact".
10) Tap on "Remove".
11) Tap on the "Gear" icon to open up contact settings.
12) Tap on the toggle to "Order by last name".
13) Observe the user's list of contacts. 
14) If the user's contacts appear ordered correctly, repeat steps 4-13.

Actual:
"Order by last name" will stop functioning if the user messages a contact, deletes that contact and then tries to sort their contact list by last name.

Expected:
"Order by last name" functions properly without issue.

If you end up in a state where order by last name fails, then is it possible for a user to recover from this situation to be able to eventually order by last name? Specifically, I'm wondering if there's a way to for a user to get order by last name working again if it failed for them. For example, if I kill the Contacts app, restart it, and try to order by last name - does that work?

:S weird error, thanks for catching it!

I can't reproduce this issue anymore as when you create an SMS from the Contact app, an activity is created. So I can't reopen contact to its main page without closing the activity.

Tested on today's master.
