Drag and drop to re-order iChat AV buddy list Apps
I discovered by accident that in iChat (AV beta, not sure about 1.0), you can re-order your buddies simply by dragging them (click and hold on the name, then drag). While this is not an earth-shattering hint, it is useful, and I had been wondering why the recently-implemented group support did not seem to offer this functionality.

[robg adds: I'm not sure if this is in the non-AV iChat or not, but it's not quite as useful as I had hoped -- when a buddy quits iChat and returns, they fall back to their usual (based on View -> Sort order) spot in the list.]

Drag and drop to re-order iChat AV buddy list

This was available in 1.0, though it seemed to be more of bug than anything else.

Honestly, it still feels like a bug. Dragging and dropping between groups is useful, but the fact that you can re-order the buddy list seems to be a bug. If Apple wanted us to be able to order the buddy list at our own preference, you'd think you could turn off the three sort orders built into the program.
