Thanks, Cynthia! I tried the complex reset, the one where you 
hold down the lock button for 10-15 sec, and it worked! My 
contact headings are in order again!

There might be a legitimate bug, and if so, I'm sorry you're
experiencing that as I can see how it would be frustrating. 
However, I
would say that 99% of my random and weird iPhone issues can be 
fixed
in one of a few ways. You can do a simple reset by pressing your 
lock
button 6 times consecutively and quickly. There will be a pause, 
and
then VoiceOver will say "VoiceOver on." And you should be able to
continue using the phone normally. You can do a more thorough 
reset by
holding the lock button down for 10-15 seconds. This will restart 
your
phone. You can also just try restarting your phone the normal 
way.
Neither of the resets I suggested cause any changes in your 
settings
or information on the phone. You can also reset the settings; the
option is found in the settings menu, but note that it does reset
preferences you've set such as Wifi networks, VoiceOver 
preferences,
ringtones, etc. So since that one is the most cumbersome to set 
back
up, I usually leave that fix for my last try. If none of these 
help,
you can always contact Apple customer service. If you have 
already
tried these things, then sorry. They're great ideas for other 
people
experiencing oddities in their iPhones though. For me, these 
resets
have fixed everything from my phone not making calls to VoiceOver
lockups where it stops speaking to my speakers not working. 
iPhones do
funny things sometimes, but for me, they have fortunately been
relatively easy to fix.

 I have experienced something similar.  Beheadings are jumbled up 
but the
 contacts are not. I wish I had a solution but I have the same 
problem.
 Anyone know what's going on?

 Dear List:

 Last week, I updated my iPhone 4S to IOS 6. Ever since then, I 
have
 noticed something strange about my contacts. When I scroll 
through them,
 they're all jumbled up. For instance, it will show "Capital A," 
but then
 have the contacts that should be listed under B. Does anyone 
have an idea
 if this problem can be fixed? I appreciate any help y'all can 
give me.
 Best,
 Sophie
