Changed status to Fix Committed as bug description provides a written
solution.  Wireframes should be provided shortly in the linked spec.

** Description changed:

- 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,
+ In southern Germany and Austria it is common to put the famillyname in
+ front of the first-name. 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
+ where I more likely know the familyname and not so much the first-name
  (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".

+ The solution is to put the option to change the order of contacts into the app settings of the address book. It should be a list item with a chevron at the far right stating: 
+ "Sort order       >"
+ Tapping on the list item goes to a new sheet/page with the header "Sort by" where user is shown two options (list items) to sort.
+ (A): First name, Last name
+ (B): Last name, First name
+ 
+ Next to each option is a tick, where one is always selected. By default
+ it should be(A) If user taps (B), option (A) is automatically unpicked.
+ 
+ A feedback bubble should confirm once the sort order is complete.
