Comment(by Bucharin):

 I was also suprised by the missing offline contacts. Of ourse I found
 them. Some maybe just deinstall at that point...

 Btw not only MSN is sorting by online/offline. I would prefere the way to
 sort like miranda, msn, icq (at last older versions) and many other
 clients do it: First online contacts in categorys, then at the bottom in
 categories the offline contacts.
 In my point of view, that is the most efficient way to allow ppl to send
 offline messages without forcing them to activate/deactivate the display
 of offline contacts every time or to permanently scroll through the buddy-
 list...
 It should at last be possible to configure pidgin to sort like this. Or am
 I just too blind to see how? I found a plugin to put online contacts at
 the top of each category, but not at the top in general nor any way to
 display the offline-contacts of a category with one click...
