contacts - Determine iOS sort order for ABContactsHelper -

for iphone project i'm using abcontactshelper erica sadun. show contacts wan't use same sort order ios uses in e.g. adressbook.app. there possibility information?

i tried:

+ (bool) firstnamesorting; + (bool) lastnamesorting; 

from abcontactshelper class these give me first name sorting. if set lastname,firstname in contact setting. in advance.

abpersongetsortordering() should work.

abpersonsortordering sortorder = abpersongetsortordering(); if (sortorder == kabpersonsortbyfirstname) {     // sort firstname } else {     // sort lastname } 

---

if @ ericas code you'll see not return sort order. returns display format.

from abcontactshelper.m:

// sorting + (bool) firstnamesorting {     return (abpersongetcompositenameformat() == kabpersoncompositenameformatfirstnamefirst); } 

that's wrong.

maybe want skip 4 year old, unmaintained code , write yourself. addressbook framework not hard understand.
