### Sorting the People List

Click the <img src="/files/i6IDHQNMgNQPgTzxiAY6" alt="" data-size="line">Sort arrows to access a drop down of sort actions. These actions include:

**Presence Status -** Groups users by their availability:

* **Online**: The user is logged in and can receive messages in real time.
* **Idle**: The user is away from their device. Messages will be received but may not be seen until their return.
* **Do Not Disturb**: The user has enabled this mode and will not be notified of messages until they exit this mode.
* **Offline**: The user is not logged in. Messages will be delivered when they next log in.

**Name -** Displays users alphabetically for easy navigation.

**Recent Activity -** The users with the most recent Messenger activity will appear at the top of the list. This activity does not need to be with the user.

**Search Bar** - Instead of sorting through the entire people list, type a user's name into the search bar to start a chat.
