Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.

Rfc6350 section-5.9 was confirmed.
It seems not to be used so much in Japan though sorting seems to be possible 
according to 'Sort-as' parameter.
iOS and Gmail use the parameter of an original definition.

e.g.

N:山田;太郎;;;
FN:山田 太郎
X-PHONETIC-FIRST-NAME:たろう
X-PHONETIC-LAST-NAME:やまだ

Cannot the parameter defined as stated above be added to vCard4.0?

Thanks
