How do I recover the alphabetic divisions of my Contacts when a single letter is entered
Following an update, when selecting addresses for a multiple sending of an email no matter which single key is depressed all the email addresses no longer appear in the requested alphabetical order but appear in a jumble with no apparent order.

I think the matching has been extended beyond the beginnings of names, as it used to be. It now looks for the string appearing anywhere in the contacts' names or addresses. Type a few more letters to see if it becomes more precise.
e.g. 'and' will fire on 'handyman', 'wallander' etc and not necessarily just on 'andrew' as you might expect. But if you type in 'andr' that should eliminate handyman and wallander. ;-)
I think you will find it is also searching nicknames too, something which had been broken for some time. Distinctive nicknames for your contacts can speed up auto-completion quite noticeably.
