I think it would be much better if it was sorted alphabetically so people could easily find if they're friends are online or so they can out if they're interested buyers, etc. are online so they can contact them.. blah.. I know it makes no sense, but I'm about to sleep and just want to make a little suggestion to help make these members lives easier!

I think there is also a buddy list feature in vBulletin but I'm not sure how it is implemented in these forums.
