Grouping in Friends list?

Well, you know like those exists in MSN, YIM, AIM clients. I know I can already set folders for calling card in Inventory. I'd love it if I can at least group up in Friends list too. I have a long list of Friends in there and it's getting hard to determine which one are insignificant and can be removed. And which one is business contact or important ones.

There's no need for tree-like structure there either. Just maybe a new field, keeping key/name of the friend group a Friend is in -- allowing single-level grouping feature which should be enough for most. (normal IM clients can't do tree grouping as well, right?)

Then, showing online friends on the top of 'Each' group, instead of topmost of the Friends list.

How's that?

I posted a message about this a few days ago and even started an official proposal. You can check out my original on this forum at /13/bb/158924/1.html

There you can also find the proposal number so you can apply some votes to it if you like.
