r4281 - lazytt, can you confirm this is ok so I can backport it to 2.2 branch. Add comment and close if all is good.

Phil- the patch doesn't work. When I apply the changes manually, it still doesnt sort alphabetically. Here are my changes in case you want to double check them:

sub by_lastname {
	$a_var = $a->[0];
	$b_var = $b->[0];
	($a_firstname,$a_lastname)=$a_var=~/^\s*([0-9A-Za-z_\-\s.]*)\s+([^0-9][0-9A-Za-z_\-.]*).*$/;
       ($b_firstname,$b_lastname)=$b_var=~/^\s*([0-9A-Za-z_\-\s.]*)\s+([^0-9][0-9A-Za-z_\-.]*).*$/;
	if (!$a_lastname) {$a_lastname=$a_var;}
	if (!$b_lastname) {$b_lastname=$b_var;}
	$sortResult=lc $a_lastname cmp lc $b_lastname;
	if ($sortResult == 0) 
	{ $sortResult=lc $a_firstname cmp lc $b_firstname }
	return $sortResult;
}

Never mind - this has nothing to do with Phil. The patch simply doesnt work. Im going to close the ticket for now. andrew4455, if you can provide more info, feel free to reopen.
