Comment (by kylen):

 I still see this issue in 2.4.3

 Basically, I want to always maintain my buddy contact order, unless the
 buddy is offline.  So I have set the scores to:
 {{{
 <pref name='status'>
  <pref name='scores'>
   <pref name='offline' type='int' value='-500'/>
   <pref name='available' type='int' value='100'/>
   <pref name='invisible' type='int' value='100'/>
   <pref name='away' type='int' value='100'/>
   <pref name='extended_away' type='int' value='100'/>
   <pref name='idle' type='int' value='100'/>
   <pref name='offline_msg' type='int' value='100'/>
  </pref>
 </pref>
 }}}

 What I am seeing is that idle connections somehow end up as the default--
 even if there are other connections ordered above it

 For example, I have one buddy with 3 connections in the following order:
  - Sametime (available)
  - AIM (idle)
  - AIM (away)

 and it picks the idle connection to display when I collapse the buddy, or
 when I double-click to start a conversation.
