New description:

 If I have a user logged on with two accounts i.e. MSN and Facebook, often
 Facebook takes priority over the MSN account even though MSN is placed
 above Facebook in the contact.  I'm guessing this has something to do with
 the mobile phone icon as I tested by dragging users to different aliases
 and this seems to be the case.

 I'm using msn-pecan which uses the mobile phone icon to show that the user
 has registered a mobile with their account, not necessarily showing that
 they are logged on with it at the time.  Even though this is maybe not the
 intended usage I still don't think that the platform that the user is on
 should effect priority, or at least there should be an option for this.

 Here is the issue filed to msn-pecan:
