Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard, structured name (N) is
required in all but v4.0, where formatted name (FN) is required in
v3.0+, it seems that the locale/preference-aware formatting would have
to happen when editing, and stored in FN.

Title:
  Display familly name first in the addressbook

Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In southern Germany and Austrias it is common to put the famillyname
  in front of the firstname. So instead of "John Doe" it would be "Doe,
  John". For me this is quite crucial when it comes to business contacts
  where I more likely know the famillyname and not so much the firstname
  (yes, I could use the search, but that is slower).

  So it should be possible to display the names in the addressbook like
  "Famillyname, Firstname".

  Here is some information on wikipedia to that issue:

  This issue relates to bug #1215373 but is not the same.
