Alphabetical sorting of groups in address book

Alphabetical sorting of groups in address book

When I create a group in Address Book, the names appear in alphabetical order -- as is stated in my preferences. When I insert this group in a mail "To" field, it auto fills the correct list of names in the group but not in alphabetical order. In fact the order seems to be idiosyncratic, not based on first name or last name.


Anyone know why this is the case and how to have my names in a group appear in alphabetical order in my mail "To" line?


When I send to a group, I want to make sure everyone in the group is included. In alphabetical order would make it so easy to audit.
