Sorting My Social Network List

I believe skybits must be talking about sorting the multi-site friend list in the Minggl sidebar. If I understand correctly, on the "Manage Profiles" page, you'd be able to pick the default sort order of all your friends and that would affect who shows up on page 1 in the sidebar.

Skybits, let me explain a few current features and then ask for additional info on the sort options you want.
1) your "Favorite" friends (denoted by yellow star), always sort to the top of the current page
2) three is a "search" field (in the MSFL sidebar) where you can type and name, tag or site name (or some of each) and find only friends that are labeled with that value
3) there is a drop-down list just below the search field that simply does auto-searching with your most commonly used values (site names and frequent tags)

Currently the MSFL (what we call the multi-site friend list) sorts alphabetically based on the Profile name or tagline that we find on the profile at the host site. There are several problems with this including:
1) some people create meaningless or inconsistent taglines between their variouis profiles
2) sites differ in whether they use name, handle or tagline on the user profile so the data is not always clean for alphabetical sorts

Because of these inconsisencies between sites, we've designed the ability for our users to set a "default" sort for their MSFL but we've not yet built a UI to this. We also don't want our databases to have to sort every page, every time someone loads a MSFL, so the plan is to allow you to set your "default" sort order, and then we'll store your friends in that order and won't have to do any heavy sorting as we load each page. Current values we've designed for stored sorts are: sitename (eg facebook), name/handle, date added to MSFL, sex or age.

Is this what you're asking for and what other Sort values would you need in order to pick your "default" friend order. Keep in mind that it must be a value thats available on all the sites we support.
