Hi Bart, 
Here with 7.10 & TB I do have exactly a similar display and it disturbs
me too !! ;-|

My account naming scheme is quite methodic and structured and like this 
I find the sequence opposite of what I expected and being used to !! ;-(

NOT ONLY with TB !!!

The same reverse listing of accounts I am having with Evolution too !!
That disturbs me much much more ! ;-O

Well, it is on my very very first Linux / Ubuntu installation and 
I hope / wish everthing may work better / prefectly when 
changing completely from scratch with LTS 8.04 !? ;-D

Cheers, svobi
