Comment(by deryni):
Not being a sort by, well anything, user take this with whatever salt you
feel is appropriate.
Imagine having just broken up with person X, having been involved with
person X for quite a while there is a rather large volume of IM history
with them. Now, when you start seeing person Y it would be nice if the
large volume of old IMs (with person X) faded out as a factor of time so
that the sort order 'corrected' itself more quickly.
The above also works with employers, coworkers, etc.
I'm not saying it is important, just that I can definitely see people
wanting it. Especially when the volume and/or chronological distances are
large.
That being said, perhaps we should just use a combined method (perhaps
with a weaker/longer fall-off) and call it "By log activity" and be done
with it.
