The default value of the "sort-criterium" gschema key and the description are not consistent with each other.
'state' is set as the default value. But the description says default is 'name'.

data/org.gnome.Empathy.gschema.xml.in:
  <schema id="org.gnome.Empathy.contacts" path="/org/gnome/empathy/contacts/">
    <key name="sort-criterium" type="s">
      <default>'state'</default>
      <_summary>Contact list sort criterion</_summary>
      <_description>Which criterion to use when sorting the contact list. Default is to sort by the contact's name with the value "name". A value of "state" will sort the contact list by state.</_description>
    </key>
  </schema>
