That was not my complaint. I meant the sorting according to preference  
'search_sources'.

I'd like to have: first list results from personal address book, then  
from LDAP.
Now: mixed results from both.
See attached screen shot, marked red = from personal address book,  
other results from LDAP

Well, all of our LDAP entries have surnames, the results are, wlle  
sorted in a way I can't interepret.
But this is not my main issue.
