Contacts and places are sorted case insensitive

Describe the bug

Contacts and places are sorted case insensitive. That makes it harder to find a contact again, if names are (accidentally) created with mixed lowercase and uppercase characters. UI elements sorted alphabetically should generally be case insensitive in all applications.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Create contact "B".
2. Create contact "A1".
3. Create contact "a2".

Expected behaviour

Contacts should be sorted A1, a2, B (case insensitive). Contacts are sorted A1, B, a2 (case sensitive).
The same issue exists for places.

Possible Fix

If that is a Java collection being sorted, a second argument String.CASE_INSENSITIVE for the Collections.sort() call would be an appropriate fix.

I created a PR (#2017) to fix this issue for persons, locations and the overview itself.
