Perfect, just what I needed.

I've got another question now, is there any infrastructure in place in 
Unity to help in surfacing commonly selected items to the top? So if 
through my pidgin lens I select the same person over and over again, 
they always float to the top? or am I going to need to handle that myself?

Thanks,
