Bug Description

This bug affects contacts with more than one phone number.
Currently, the ordering of phone numbers seems to doesn't follow any ordering-rule within a single contact entry.
I have several contacts with a home- and a mobile-phone-number.
The home-number is mostly listed first and the mobile-number is the second list entry. But at some contacts the mobile-number is listed before the home-number.
There should be a way to influence the ordering of phone-numbers within a contact.

--------- UX comment & resolution --------

There is no ordering of phone numbers in the Address Book app because for some people the home (first) number will be the important one and for others not. You always can change the order manually. Most people have two, maybe three entries of phone numbers. All number entries are grouped in a compact view in the contact card. This makes them easily visible so that an ordering feature is unnecessary.

The way favouriting works is that the whole contacts becomes a favourite and not just a number. This means as well that it will become easier to find all data about that contact and change it faster if needed.

Marking this bug as Won't Fix because this feature is not needed.

Remark: The ordering directly influences the behavior of favorite contacts.
Choosing a favorite contact always calls the first number (see bug #1469509)
