Re: [Linphone-developers] Sort contacts by name

I used this to patch an earlier Linphone. Maybe there is a clue here for you.

Subject: linphone: Wrong contact list sort order

Package: linphone

Version: 3.6.1-3

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Linphone sorts contacts by username (EG: <sip:address@hidden>) as

opposed to display_name (EG: "John Doe"). Below a small patch by a friend

which fixes this problem;

It's not known if the tests u1 == NULL and u2 == NULL are really

necessary, but it can't hurt.

Hi,

I've gotten Linphone up and running for work, but there is one inconvenience, the contacts list is sorted by extension or number. It would be easier to find a contact if there was the option to sort alphabetically by name.

Thanks,

Andrew
