I'll answer yours too.. group by group isn't beautiful indeed which is why we should keep it as 'sort by' the group offline contacts together is good but I don't want to code that, it's a little bit complicated since we use one variable for sorting, and we would need to divide it into two variables if we want this... about the "with radio buttons instead of checkboxes", I'll tell you that it already IS a radio button.. but stupid Tk shows a checkbox for a radiobutton when it's in a menu.. if you use pixmapmenu I think, it would show up differently.. maybe with tk8.5 too.. the 'sort each group by status' still doesn't seem clear to me about translations, if we change the text, we will create a new lang key, so it shoul dbe translated correctly.
