Hello list,

I have recently switched to using org-contacts, after several years of
BBDB usage. When completing contacts in message-mode, I prefer cycling
the completion alternatives, for instance when a single contact has
multiple email addresses. So I set `completion-cycle-threshold' to some
value other than nil.

However, the cycle ordering was not consistent with the order in which
email addresses appeared in the contact (actually, cycle order was
shortest candidate first, which I understand is a default). So the
"preferred" email address (or the first one defined in :EMAIL: property
of contact node) was typically not always chosen as first completion
suggestion in the cycle.

I attach a patch here (against current org-mode git) which also provides
the display sort function for cycle completions in metadata. That seems
to resolve the problem for me.


Regards,

Øyvind Stegard
