Description Ryan Olf 2004-06-02 06:11:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 
OS:                Linux

It would be nice to be able to order buddies and groups in the buddy window arbitrarily. Now it seems to do it alphabetically (inc or desc order) only.

Also, in descending alphabetical order, when ordering by status is on, the status order also reverses, making, for my tastes, the list not as well organized.

Comment 2 Olivier Goffart 2004-07-19 00:00:18 UTC

Personaly, i ordered my contactlist by prepended a number before each group name

example:

a) freinds
b) familly
c) work
d) others

Would love to see this feature since I organize my buddies by importance and not alphabetically (For example, "Friends" group should come before the "Dickheads" group ;) )

Comment 4 Chris Wales 2006-07-13 13:37:03 UTC

^ LOL!

I agree entirely. Naming all the groups with letters is cumbersome and if you happen to want to "promote" a group, add a new one or remove an old one, they all need renaming which is a bit inelegant.

Has any progress been made on this, or is there someone that can point me to the right place in the code to start hacking?
