Ok, so you're reading a list of names from the LDAP server in the form
"A B C" where "B C" is a compound last name in real life. Evolution
treats them instead as "First Middle Last" and therefore sorts them
incorrectly.

Either your LDAP server is misconfigured and stores and/or send the
information in a wrong format (placing the first part of last name in
the middle name field) or Evolution fails to correctly parse this same
information. In the second case, it's a bug.

Unfortunately I don't have a LDAP server available to test this. Have
you tried using a different software? Is it possible to see one of the
LDAP entries in a different format, e.g. LFIF (?) or vCard?
