O.P. Contact-List Suggestion
Hi Guys! *first post :o)*

First of all, THANKS!!! for probably the best plug-in i've ever used!
I used this plug-in since MSN 6.. Anyway, now I'm using WLM, and since the plug-in isn't out yet for WLM, i thought, i could suggest a small feature:

I have quite a few contacts, and lots of them are online during the late hours, but lots of them are also with "away"- or "busy" tags.. So I was wondering if you guys could make a feature, that sorts your contacts by their online-status!

Suggested order:
-Online
-Be Right Back
-On The Phone
-Busy
-Out To Lunch
-Away
-Offline

Maybe also having the possibility to change this order if needed.
Is this do-able? Are there any other people interested in such a feature?

Greets, Lachvogel

WLM already has a sort by status feature

On the contact window press the button with the two green arrows.

That only sorts contacts by: Online, Mobile, and Offline Status.

EDIT: Look at the screenshot. What I ment, was to reorder all the online contacts. (And I realised, that I have forgotten the "Blocked" status. Maybe that could come at the end of the list)

I never actually look at status', busy means nothing to me 8-) BUT I guess it could be useful because you could quickly identify what a contacts status is.

:p Busy's the only status that means something to me! lol... If my contacts are on busy, i won't talk to them... but when they're on away they're usually there.... Busy is mostly commonly used *In my opinion* when they're not actually there, so that toasts and sounds are disabled.

UTI is right most people who are actually away/busy set them selves to busy (heck i do it)

and i usually just set it to away when i dont want to talk ...

still could be a cool feature

I thought this could be usefull, so that you can tell which contacts feel like chating or to seperate them from the contacts that don't feel like chatting / are busy or away.

The purpose isn't really to see which contacs have what status, but more to see which contacs are more likely to chat. Well i hope you get what I'm trying to say. ;) I would be very grateful to see this feature!
