Not to be too LSchieresque, but:
<SeanEgan> Which should I do? Finish writing sorting code or commit sorting code?
<Robot101> the latter, then the former.
This is my incomplete buddy list sorting code. Sorting methods are modular, a plugin
can add its own if it wanted to. Included are four sorting methods:
None - this will be perceived as no sorting. It sorts the list in the order specified
in blist.xml
Alphabetical - duh.
By status - this isn't really written yet, but I'm going to fix it right now. This will
sort using idle time, away status, and online status when it's written
By log file size - this puts the people you talk to the most at the top of your list. Pretty
keen, eh?
Of course this is replete with Sean Egan Hacks (TM).
Now I'm going to go eat some weird "golden crunch" cereal from nestle.
