#10380: Sort by status weird

 Hi,
 I experience a strange behavior when using "sort buddies by status" with
 several accounts. The first sort key is the status as "online", "away",
 "offline" etc. which is also displayed by the icon. But the second sort
 key (how buddies with same status are sorted) seems to be the account of
 the contact (at least for offline contacts). Therefore it happens to me
 that the offline contacts are not totally alphabetically sorted. This is
 weird, especially since in. I can't imagine it is intentional since pidgin
 tries to remove the borders between the contacts. I would expect that all
 contacts with the same status are sorted alphabetically, no matter which
 account they belong to.
 PS: I'm using ICQ and the Facebook plugin.

Comment:

 Are you talking about buddies within a contact or contacts in a group? Can
 you get a screenshot of this issue? I'm just trying to make sure I
 understand exactly what is happening.

Comment(by darkrain42):

 It does not appear to be sorting secondarily by protocol, as you have ICQ
 and XMPP buddies mixed together in the last group.  That said, without
 looking at the code, I don't have any idea what it ''is'' doing.

 You don't, by any chance, have the [wiki:ThirdPartyPlugins#Interfacetweaks
 Extended Buddy List Sort] plugin loaded do you?

 I didn't have the sort plugin, yet. But that's a great solution to my
 problem - works flawlessly. Thanks for pointing it out!

Comment(by deryni):

 I wasn't suggesting it as a fix but as a possible reason for the sort
 being odd, however if it gives you what you want then that works too.
