GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 523087
empathy should allow custom group sorting
Last modified: 2018-05-22 13:08:36 UTC
sometimes, you want to have your most active group, e.g. co-workers on the top, as you need them probably all the time. but for now, empathy sorts them alphabetically, which would list "all my friends" before co-worker.
I agree, that would be an useful improvement.

Any progress on this? It's rather old.

I also would like the group sorting to be per-installation (I suppose that may be the only viable solution, but wanted to say this anyway). I use the same accounts at work and at home, but at work I have my work group sorted at the top for easy access, but at home, at the bottom (rarely used). (I still use pidgin, so no need to ask how I accomplished that in Empathy, this is one of the things I feel I need, because I have so many people on my lists, effective and sorted grouping is kind of a must).
This is a two-year-old request - any progress?
It is a very important feature for me too, and my last reason to keep using Pidgin instead of Empathy ...
(In reply to comment #8) > It is a very important feature for me too, and my last reason to keep using > Pidgin instead of Empathy ... Ditto. But it still says "Status:NEW" down below here, after 2 years?
"NEW" means the bug has been confirmed. That doesn't reflect the age of the bug.
Tick tock, the time keeps ticking. Is there absolutely no progress on this?
I think we can safely mark this as duplicate of #611972, which has been fixed recently. I think we simply failed to mark it as duplicate before, or to be more precise: mark the other bug as duplicate of this one. I'm marking this as dup of the other because the other one contains a lot of discussion, patches, reviews and the actual fix. If you think the bug is not fixed yet, feel free to reopen the bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 611972 ***
I disagree. #611972 is about single contacts, this bug is about groups. Also, this bug is about custom sorting, which clearly cannot be solved by something as favorite contacts. That said, i cannot see how this bug can be a duplicate of #611972.
Hmm I misunderstood the "group of coworkers" then... Favorite Contacts could still be a good starting point, extending them to allow favorite groups as well. Reopening.

Allan: how do you feel about this? Is that something we should support when redesigning the contact list?
