Google portable contacts api sort order not working

Question

I am using this path to grab contacts from google after user is oauth2 authenticated.

path = "http://www-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/api/people/@me/@all/?count=500&fields=name,displayName,emails&sortBy=name"

Strangely the sortBy name is not working.

It gives:

1. First a list of unordered contacts with no order.

2. Then it gives contacts with name in alphabetical order.

I want all contact names sorted by alphabetical order.

What is the work around for this problem ?

A quick reply will be appreciated.

Answer 1

It's a google bug.

Check my discussion with Jospeh Smarr google opensocial apis lead.
