Better "Sort by Status" function for contact list by lachvogel on 02-04-2007 at 08:14 PM

Hi there!

I was wondering if it's now possible to make a script, that sorts your contacts like this (example)

-Online

Alex (online)
Ben (online)
Frank (online)
Oliver (online)

Andrew (BRB)
Mike (BRB)

Dirk (away)
Jim (away)

A.... (out to lunch)
B.... (out to lunch)

A.... (in a call)
B.... (in a call)

A.... (busy)
B.... (busy)
C.... (busy)


-Mobile

(unchanged)

-Offline

hope you guys get what i mean! is it possible? i know trillian has something like this, so it would be great if this were possible and even better if someone might even give this script an attempt, as i have no scripting knowledge whatsoever..

thx! grets lachvogel

I don't believe this can be done with a script. However, you can wait for another member's answer to confirm this.

There's something to add to next Plus! Patchou, a groups object.

Firstly, Patchou has never added a way to change the order of your contacts in any version of Plus! and so this would be greatly difficult, if not impossible for someone to do in a script.

Secondly, Baggins, if Patchou could add a group object he would have done it already, howver there has been some problems and he cant get it to be all working I'm sorry to say.
