That's a great question. It would make sense to have "dnd" override any
other setting, as yout typically don't want to disturb a person on any
of the channels if this setting is configured.

Some implementations order by resource priority, which is not very
helpful to users, IMO.

I'd suggest to use the following sort order:

- dnd
- chat
- available
- away
- xa

With ties resolved by using the client priority (or maybe the length of
the status message - the longer one wins. This actually does make sense
if you only have configured a status message on one client).
