Contacts Out of Sequence due to Phonetic Spelling saying FALSE

[iMore Question]

How do I tuen off phonetic spelling on my contact list. Many contacts are coming back false..it won't let me change them so the contacts are now out of order on my phone.

Are you still having a problem with this? If so, are the contacts associated with a Yahoo email account? If so, if you have more than one email account configured and those same contacts are associated with some or all of the email accounts, disable syncing of those contacts in all email accounts except one. That may solve the problem for you.

Try removing your Yahoo Mail account from the settings. (Or whatever mail account the contacts are assigned to) Check your contacts, see if the problem was resolved, and try readding the account.
