Which eddress offered first when starting new email?

I have... of course!... an addressbook in my Pegasus setup.

Let's say, for arguement, I have entries (in the "Name" field) for....

       ABC Taxis

       Brown- Fred- home

       Brown- Fred- work

       Chester Library

Now... with such an address book, if I type "Brow", Pegasus helpfully offers one of the Browns' entries. If it is the RIGHT one, I can just tab to the "Subject" field, and get on with doing the email. If Pegasus offered Brown- Fred- home, but I wanted Brown- Fred- work, I just keep typing the contact name I want, and when I get to "Brown- Fred- w", Pegasus switches from the Brown it was proposing before to the other one. NOW I can just press tab, and proceed as before.

So far so good. All that works nicely for me.

But.

Let's say that at the moment, Pegasus proposes "Brown- Fred- home" when I type "Brow".... but I want the other one to be the first "Brow..." offered:

I've tried all sorts of things... for hours... several times over the years... none of the "usual tricks" work. (For instance, putting an extra hyphen in one of the names sometimes does the trick (if you add it to the right one!) in some apps, but not(?) Pegasus.)

Can anyone spot what I'm missing under Pegasus? How to make something the first entry offered? I even try re-sorting the display AND re-indexing the book after making edits to the "Name" fields (I'm using Pegasus 4.63 in a Windows 7 machine. And 4.52 in an XP machine. (Only still on 6.52 there because that installation is older, and I abhor upgrading WORKING systems! (But yes, I do apply OS and browser upgrades!!)).
