If someone can make a plugin that rearranges the Contact List according to the name of the renamed contacts? Currently Messenger Plus! arranges renamed contacts according to their respective e-mail addresses.

This would make Contact Lists a whole lot neater. So I am wondering if there are any such plug-ins or can someone make it. Or did I just completely misunderstood the meanings of plug-ins? lol

Thanks =)

I think this is more a request for a feature in msg plus!. A plugin is more for completely new functions, and not for solving "bugs" in msg plus

@jcrust
1) Plus! doesn't rearrange anything; it is MSN Messenger that sorts the list (because it uses email addresses when you activate the custom names feature in Plus!. And that is because Plus! needs something unique to identify the items so it knows what item to change into what text)
2) not possible with a simple plugin
3) if Patchou can't do it (atm), I strongly doubt anyone else can do it (with a plugin/addon)

@J-Thread
4) this isn't a bug in messenger Plus!, nor a bug in MSN Messenger; heck it isn't a bug at all...
(PS: yeah, I noticed you used quotes. But still... I wanted to make it clear (maybe to others who read this )

Yes I do know it isn't a bug, off course not. But my english isn't that good and I don't know the word for "verbetering" so I wrote solve "bugs"

@j-thread

The english word voor "verbetering" is "enhancement"

I just though of "improvement", but well, I didn't know the word at the moment I typed my message, and I thought people would understand me. But thanks anyway, I'll try to improve my english

To be honest, I successfully found the name sorting bit, and I'm able to change it.
I tried to implement this, but Plus's custom names are encrypted in the registry, and Patchou won't tell me how to decrypt em...

Why not tell patchou the way how to sort them, and you don't need to decrypt anything, plus! itself will handle everything

It's one of these things that Patch would never implement, too risky according to him.
Besides, I can't tell him how to do everything, I need some things of my own too...

Maybe you can find another way to do it without decrypting the custom names, like getting them directly from memory or something

They're encrypted, they can't be in memory, let's wait for Patchou to implement the return of names in the next API.

Yes, and I'm also pretty sure TB has other things on his mind, like a "Profielwerkstuk" on which he has to spend 80 hours in about one and a half month...
