The SQL statement

SELECT `pref_uid`, CAST( `pref_value` AS CHAR ) AS `name_sort`
FROM `horde_prefs`
WHERE ( `pref_uid` = "UserA" OR `pref_uid` = "UserB" )
AND `pref_scope` = "turba"
AND `pref_name` = "name_sort"

returns

pref_uid   name_sort
---------------------
UserA      first_last
UserB      first_last


I made a new Horde installation on an other server. I exported UserA's 
address book and imported it to UserA's account (IMAP authentication) on 
the new server and made the same settings for name_sort. But the 
contacts are also sorted by "lastname, firstname" and displayed as 
"firstname lastname" in the address book window of composing a new message.
Could it be that IMP does ignore the preference?
