Help Joined contacts

So I joined my contacts with contacts from facebook, however for some contacts the facebook contact automatically becomes the default display on my phone and changes the name displayed in my contacts list. How can I change which contact from the joined contacts is the default when being displayed in the contacts list?

I had this same issue but discovered the fix... the phone seems to take the name "priority" in this order...

1) Google Contact
2) Corporate Contact
3) Facebook Contact
4) Phone Contact

First I stopped all account sync in my phones, then since most of my contacts were phone contacts I went into Contact Backups on VZW's website and exported them for Google (there is an option to export for Gmail), then imported them into Google Contacts and merged into existing. Then I went back to VZW and selected all and deleted them, then clicked Sync to Phone, then I went to the phone and did a VZW Backup sync and all the phone contacts were gone from the phone, then I syched Google Contacts to restore all my contacts in the phone, and lastly rejoined the contacts Google and FB accounts that didn't do so automatically. All names are now by Google contacts.
