Maybe I need yet *another* cup of coffee, but for the Life of me, I
can't figure out the entry ordering used by bbdb-print (in
emacs-21.2.1).  This function -- bound to "P" -- generates a TeX file
which "pretty prints" all or some of the DB entries.

It starts out with a `B' section with persons whose last names begin
with 'B', followed by similar sections for `C', `H', etc. ... this is
all expected and normal.

It continues with `L', `M', `N', 'P', and *then* `M', `K', `N', and so
on ... basically bouncing forward and backward through the alphabet.

I'm sure it is following its "printing algorithm" ... I just can't
figure out what it is!

I looked online and in the 'info' pages, but couldn't find an
explanation of the ordering.

A second mystery:  after displaying all records, the created ".tex"
file contains only, maybe, 20% of them.  Why are these other entries
not included in the "pretty printing"?


Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks,
