Bug Description
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 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 address-book like "Famillyname, First-name".
Here is some information on wikipedia to that issue:

This issue relates to bug #1215373 but is not the same.
-------------- UX comment --------------
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.
Please see for updates on settings in this UX spec:

How the feedback bubble and other notifications work can be found in this spec:
