RE: Suggestion for Plus! - Custom contact names in alphabetical order...
The problem has always been the fact that custom names are actually interpreted by MSN Messenger as email-adresses.

This is because Plus! needs the "email address"-view so it can change the email address to the custom name. (because the email address is the only consistent parameter where Plus! can check upon)

This means that the contact list is sorted on the email address as MSN Messenger itself does the sorting. This is very difficult to change as this requires a serious and big code alteration to the normal control that MSN Messenger uses. Though it is not impossible, it is very hard to do (even for Patchou)...
