I might have explained the "hidden" poorly; yes, it's exactly like you say and
it's what I meant. But you see, those that you have in your "see me when
hidden" list, perceive you as online, so you're definitely more online as when
"away".

If it helps you, the presence sorting can be defined as "how likely it is that
the target contact will see my message". If the contact is "busy", he might be
working, watching movie etc. but still might see my message and decide to
answer if he wants. While "away" can mean "away from keyboard", so in this
sense it's less likely my message would be seen.

As for your list of clients - Empathy does not provide sorting by presence at
all, Pidgin does put "busy" before "away" and so does Kopete (as well as
goo'ol' GTalk in GMail, and Google sure knows what they're doing ;)

So..we're not doing anything different at all, in fact, we're doing what
everyone else is doing and that is, as you say, very good from usability point
of view :)

Also this report mixes two actual feature requests, can you please open new one
for the submenus? That is a good idea and it got lost in here, also helps up
keeping tracking of features more easily, thanks.
