Google talk has an auto sorting feature of buddy list which we might have not realised or ignored. The main part of it is that google talk automatically sorts the buddy list based on the status of user and thier activity.

Whenever a buddy list is displayed in gtalk they are sorted based on thier alphabetical order as second category and status as first category. For example check the screenshot on the left.

In the screenshot the top list of buddies is naveed, since his status is available he is displayed in top and in the second list it is thakur who uses a busy status and so he is sorted next to available status. And the last status is anandh who is simple idle and so he is listed at the last of the buddy list.

We might have never noticed that google talk has this interesting feature, that automatically sorts the list. Soon more features will be discovered keep updated with my blog if you like my posts…
