Subject: alphabetization in address book

It was dissapointing to add an address to my address book and see that it
was stuck into the list at essentially a random point.  A section of the
address book is shown here:

bgaserv	BGA Network listserv	[email-masked]
bgnews	BGNews	[email-masked]
michelle	Niemeyer, Michelle	[email-masked]
ziggy	Bialzik, Ziggy	[email-masked]
laurabie	Bierut, Laura	[email-masked]

The names beginning with B were already there in proper alphabetical
order, but I added Niemeyer, Michelle, and she was shoved into the Bs
instead of the Ns.  The rest of the list is alphabetized by "full name",
so why not the new entry?  I tried quitting and restarting and it's still
there.

I think that qualifies as a bug, unless there is some new option I have to
set.

Regards,

Mike

Mike,
  Try looking at the variable "addrbook-sort-rule" in the Setup/Config
screen. If it is set to "dont-sort" that would explain it. Otherwise, we
may have a bug of some sort.

I do have it set to sort by full names.  In fact, all other entries are
sorted by full name.  So it's just the one I added.

If it helps any, I added the addressbook entry using the "take" command.

Regards,

Mike

I added "Miller, Mike" to my address book with the Take command,
and it was added out-of-order.  I changed addrbook-sort-rule to
by nickname, then back to fullname, and the sort order was correct.

Pine 4.00, Solaris 2.6 with gcc.  With enable-vi-keys and composer-word-erase 
patches.  ;)
