#8141: Sort Buddies by Status moves offline buddy too soon
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  Pander  |        Type:  defect

 When Sort Buddies by Status is selected and a buddy logs off and goes
 offline, then for a short while the log off icon is visible. This
 indicates who has logged of.

 However, the status is already set to offline, so with a large contact
 list, a buddy with a name starting with 'z' moves already to the end of
 the list which is not visible in the window. Hence it is not clear who has
 logged off at that moment. Only by quickly scrolling down, it is visible.

 When a buddy logs off, during the time the 'going out the door' icon is
 visible, the buddy should be positioned at the top off all the logged off
 buddies and at the bottem of all the login in buddies. When the real
 logged off icon is visible (grayed out version of the icon) the buddy
 should be in sorted as the rest of the logged off buddies.

 This can be done by introducing an extra status or by improving the sort
 mechanism. The latter implementation for fixing this is preferred.
