sort_field

Type: EContactField

A field to sort by, which should be in the summary.

sort_type

Type: EBookCursorSortType

An EBookCursorSortType.

n_offset

Type: guint

A 0-based offset in the sorted result to start reading from, or 0 to read from start.

n_limit

Type: guint

How many values to return only; use 0 or G_MAXUINT to read everything from the n_offset.

out_contacts

Type: An array of EContact*

An array of EContact-s in the requested order.

The instance takes ownership of the data container, but not the data inside it.
cancellable

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the method.
error

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
