How can you sort groups by status? They don't have a status themselves,
right ?
Sort contacts by =>

There's too many submenu's this way IMHO. I cant recall what most
guidelines say about this now but I think having a submenu for a choice
between 2 things is "not done"

This is and should stay a "View" thing as it changes the "view" of the CL.
The menu title is not "view" as in the verb.
What about:
Sort contacts =>
o Sort by status
o Sort by how much I talk to them
* Sort alfabetically
------
* Sort ascending
o Sort descending
------
[v]Use contactgroups
[v]Group offline contacts
[ ]Hide offline group
[v]Group non-IM contacts
[ ]Hide non-IM group
Change appearance of contacts ...
(clicking this pops up a window to change the "global nick" where you
can alo choose to only show the email-adress)
This way th "View" menu would only have 2 items, the first being that
subenu. THe "o" and "*" are radio buttons where the latter is the default
selected item. the "[ ]" and "[v]" are checkboxes where the latter is a
default checked item.
I don't have too much time for a lengthy discussion about this so if there's
too much worng with this idea, just discard it. I hope it's well thought-out
though :p.
cheers,
Karel.
