Bug Description

Google Contacts has fields for "Phonetic first name" and "Phonetic last name" which can be used to type a romanized spelling of a name in another script that is used for sorting and speech recognition. I especially appreciate the sorting. Unfortunately on my Ubuntu phone such names end up at the bottom of the list instead and I can't even see the romanized name in the details.

I also tried using the nickname field as a work-around but it's ignored just the same.
