No, I fixed that yesterday, but forgot to close this ticket.

Tried  the same on CVS head and it all worked on there so I guess a 
bug in RC1 or I misconfigured something. Feel free to close bug as 
invalid.

I've wiped all the prefs from the database for myself to test if the 
defaults sort  like I would like them to.

But what is the value for _you_ (in the database)?

I have the following set which sorts the main addressbook by firstname 
(default is by family name).



// the format to display names.  Either 'last_first' or 'first_last'

$_prefs['name_format'] = array(

     'value' => 'first_last',

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'enum',

     'desc' => _("Select the format used to display names:"),

     'enum' => array('last_first' => _("\"Lastname, Firstname\" (ie. 
Doe, John)"),

                     'first_last' => _("\"Firstname Lastname\"  (ie. 
John Doe)"),

                     'none' => _("no formatting"))

);



// user preferred sorting column

// zero based int representing the column number to sort by

$_prefs['sortby'] = array(

     'value' => 1,

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'implicit'

);



// user preferred sorting direction

$_prefs['sortdir'] = array(

     'value' => 0,

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'enum',

     'enum' => array(0 => _("Ascending"),

                     1 => _("Descending")),

     'desc' => _("Default sorting direction:")

);

Works fine for me. What options are set for sorting in Turba?

Quite an annoying bug, when I view my Turba addressbook, its all 
nicely sorted by name, if I view it from free/busy - the sorting is 
lost and the person is practically impossible to find without typing 
their name in search.
