I recently switched from locally stored contacts to Google GMail contacts. I use kde-misc/akonadi-google-20120619.

To migrate my locally stored contacts into Google I exported them into a vCard. I prefer the reverse, comma-seperated display style for names, i.e. "last-name, first-name". This style was the style used by my old locally stored contacts and
all vCard entries had the attributes

FN:Doe\, John
N:Doe;John;;;

When I looked at the remotely stored contacts for the very first time through kde-misc/akonadi-google-20120619 in kontact-4.8.3 the style was correctly used.

As soon as I edit a contact the style switches to "first-name last-name". It does not matter, if I edit the contact in kontact or in the Google GMail web interface. The same is true for newly created contacts.

If I set the display style back to reverse order, this option only holds until the next synchronization with Google.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create or edit a contact (no matter if in kontact or in Google Web interface)
2. Wait until changes are visible inside of kontact
3. The display style is "first-name last-name"
4. Set the display style to reverse order, i.e. "last-name, first-name"
5. Wait until the next synchronization
Actual Results:  
The option in the setting dialog still shows "reverse order", but the actual listing is "first-name last-name".

Expected Results:  
The list entry should be "last-name, first-name".
