Title:
  Display familly name first in the addressbook

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
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.
