GMail Contacts sync - Fields display in wrong order in Addresses on iPad

I use Gmail for email and contacts syncing them to iPad, iMac and MacBook. For some time some I have been confused by how some addresses display on iPad with data above the first line of address.

Address should show as [ Fields where data is entered on Google Contacts]

32 Hunter Street     [Street]
Nether Green         [Local Area]
Sheffield                [City]
S11 1AA                [Zip/Post Code]
United Kingdom    [Country]

on iPad reads as

Nether Green
2 Hunter Street
Sheffield [City]
S11 1AA
United Kingdom

Confusingly choose to edit record on iPad and the [Local Area] entry appears above the street entry. If  you change the order to correct  this on iPad in Edit screen (delete the area entry and enter the street area, delete the original street entry and enter the area entry) an odd thing happens. On Gmail contacts the updated entry are BOTH put in the street entry (as I suggest doing below).  The problem seems related to the [Local Area] field. If you want it to display correctly then do not use the [Local Area] field when entering on Google Contacts and enter a second line in the street field with the local area information and this will then display correctly.

If using Contacts on OSX and syncing with Google then also enter the Local Field as a second line in the street field as suggested above for the Gmail web interface.

The iPad sync I use takes place with the Google type internet account and hoped iOS8 would solve it but this is not the case. I have tested this on iPad with a separate CardDav account (disabling the contacts in the main Google account) and makes no difference. As such it seems like a bug in the iPad contacts display - I am surprised it has not been picked up by Apple and corrected. As I use Android phone switching to iCloud is not really an option.
