Thank you. So basically, the alternative names I gave to
FN, N and NICKNAME (Full Name, Name Components and
Common Name, respectively) are correct synonyms?
And a standards-compliant program should understand
this and allow for labeling and sorting on the NICKNAME
property?
Thank you for your time,
