Contacts does not print out in alphabetical order

Has something happened to printing lists from Contacts? Don't know if it is Contacts or Mountain Lion.


I have not printed a listin in ML before, but in former versions, an alphabetical listing was generated in alpha order. Now printing a list gives the names out of alpha order. This is the case of a group or All Contacts. This is not just my machine, but another computer in the house running the lastest software.


I find nothing in the printing details to select alpha order. The Contacts is set up to view in last name-first name order.


I also checked all boxes in atributes to see if there was a strange happening there, but the sorted order is identical. It is not sorting by first name either.


Contact preferences is at show first name before last name andsort by last name. I have changed those parameters and there is no effect of the order of names in printing.


Pocket address book prints in alpha order. Mailing labels prints out of order and left off some of the first of the listing. Listing all contacts is also out of order.

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), 2.8 GHz Quad core, 6 GB ram
