Hi, I registered because I've always wanted to add alternate nicknames to my contacts because I like having my list tidy, which I think you should understand, can't be the only one with friends that add a lot of gibberish to their nicknames, right? Thing that is also a log killer.

The thing is that when I do this, it completely hides the actual nickname, even from the toasts, which is not convenient because people sometimes add worthy information to their nicknames. So I thought that when in your list, just like with the default it shows a contact in the format of [Nickname] - [Personal Message], I wondered if it could be changed to [Personal Nickname] - [NN] - [PM], this way achieving both having your contacts ordered the way you want, and not missing out their nicknames of choice.

Same with the chat windows, instead of [NN] line [PM], it could be [PN] - [NN] line [PM]. To have the info even more accessible. Exactly the the same would work well with the toasts too, instead of just [NN], [PN] line [NN].

Now, more than wishing that somebody would do this for me, I want to know if this possible. I don't want to study and learn all what MPLScripting.chm says just to find out at the end that I can't do the only thing I wanted to code. I wouldn't complain if someone did it for me though, in fact I would be very grateful.

Some tidbit I can give though is that when you type (!N) and send it to a contact, it returns it's ACTUAL nickname and not the one you set up on said person. Maybe this could be relevant?

So with all that said... Can it be done? Thanks in advance for whatever help you give me. I will be eagerly waiting.
