Please support SORT-AS for N fields

Please add support for SORT-AS so we can use correctly sorted dutch (german, french, ...) names.

you mean handling characters with umlaubs like č, á etc?

I think these are already handled by the locales.

What I referred to is the ability to properly use names like "Ludwig van Beethoven", where "van Beethoven" is the surname but must be sorted as "Beethoven". Putting "van" as a middle name is a bad trick.

Q: Do I see it correctly that Contacts use, internally, the 5-field approach for names (prefix first middle surname suffix) but there is no way to maintain these individually since the editor only provides two fields (first last) for editing?

you can change visible fields in the app Settings - Manage visible contact fields

Great! Do you plan to add individual fields for ADR? Currently the only option is a single 'address' entry that gets transferred as the 'address' part of the ADR property. (Also when modifying an entry that has a multi-part ADR property: the ADR parts get reduced to a single address part.)
