This is interface related, but not a bug, so I'm putting it in a fresh topic.
The "Friends" list isn't just friends. It's also enemies, newbies, crafters and others. Now, we do have the option to put notes on people, but this doesn't really help if what you're doing is trying to remember who it is who is the master jeweler, axe-crafter, or member of Bozos of Atys, the newest fringe guild who are having a bit of trouble adjusting.
First suggestion: Add the Guild name to the person's name on the list. The data base info is present, so it's just a matter of looking it up and attaching it to the download of the "Friends" list. This, in and of itself would be a good thing, imho. It would require both server and client programming changes.
Second, independent, suggestion. Allow grouping of the "Friends" list into subgroups with user-defined titles. Limit the number of subgroups to start with to, oh, 8 or 16. You could use drag-and-drop or right-click sub menus to add people to the groups. If I understand how the "Friends" list works, this could be done client side as post processing to the download of the "Friends" List.

(*) This statement is contested, but we are certainly the longest lasting.
