simple way to avoid mixed english and chinese (or other languages) contacts

personally, i don prefer to sort chinese contacts by pinyin, so ...

it's a simple way to show chinese contacts after english one, although it's a bit tricky

to do it, just add a chinese character of your choice (non-printable or chinese symbols) in front of the contact name in chinese, and now they will appear after the letter "Z"
