[enhancement] People app contacts cannot be prioritized

My contact list is years old and some of the contacts were moving among many devices. Nokia ? > Nokia N9 > Jolla 1 > XperiaX > Xperia XA2.

I am now in a state when some contacts have unremovable items like old Jabber and xmpp links, addresses, phones. Some of the details are synced from my linked accounts and I am rather lazy to spend my time with total clean-up.

I can live with that but it would be better to have option to select primary/default phone number, choose order of within detail type (make actual phone first, actual address first, etc.).

I believe that this is a little step which significantly improves usability and I've been waiting for it for too long already :)

Another example which is not caused by my laziness:

Google synced contact contains "work" mobile phone number (which is foreign state service provider), but I know also the "private" number which is local services provider. For some reason, I have always the foreign number first. I don't want to delete it, I just don't want to call it accidentally and I want to give it lower priority, I simply want it to be second.

However, if I delete the number, it is synced back to the same position.

There are also two addresses (just in case we would have native working navigation one day...) - work address and home address. Work address is synced from contacts, home address is added manually.

For some reason is work address first again and if I delete it manually, it is synced back to the first position.
