the merged contact name will be set by the global settings -> "show contact as" lastname, firstname
the merging process itself is android system related
the facebook accounts is very limited and is read-only.
or maybe i don't understand the FR ?
I have two contacts:
- Contact a as phone contact "Realname"
- Contract b as Facebook contact "Fakename"
The merged contact is named "Fakename" if I select contact b first. It should be kind of possible to change the new main contact from which merged contact name is choosen after merging.

hi MArkum, ok, i understand ...
but the order which name should be shown wll be done from android system (which is the master and all other are merged to this master).
don't know - if it is possible to change ...
but, if it is possible ? - how should it be possible to change it ?
maynually on every contact, which seems, that there are multiple contacts merged ?
if you select a "merged contact", how do you want to selelct the master ?
how should it work (i mean the process for handling) ?
next question is: if contact A and contact B are in the same account type -> what should be done then ?
if you create a contact "John Denver" (on local account) + "John Denver2" (on local account) -> then you can merge them togehter manually, and the name will shown as "John Denver" - and not as "John Denver2". so it will be always use the oldest (lowest _id) name.
i have no idea now, how this should be anyhow practicable handled by any function ...
the only idea is on "contact editor", where maybe you can change the name, or unlink the 2 contacts.
the only place, where this makes sense to change is on "contact editor". i will talk with devel of "contact editor++", maybe he can implement this to change the master for viewing ...
but if the account types are different, not sure if there is any chance to change this for read-only account types like: skype, or like facebook, twitter, LinkedIn - then only for local, EAS, and google maybe possible ...
