Love the game, love the work you've all done. This is not a "complain" post. Just want to know.

It seems like it should be an easy change to make, tell the game to sort list alphabetically. Which is why I want to post this in it's own thread.

If it is easy, it should be made. If the team says it is in fact a lot of work for some reason, I'll forget about it. I just haven't seen this addressed. But it's driving me a bit mad.

I know it's in the works, as with many of the UI changes.

People always add, "and there should be sort options too". I agree. But if we could get a first step alphabetically, we could wait however long it takes to get the proper sorting implemented.

But it is so terrible right now, and waiting months to have it fixed seems even more terrible. You can not go into your inventory to see if you have something(you can, but realistically it's not worth it). There is so many items you could spend minutes looking, and prob miss it anyway. Plus it's not smooth scrolling through, and it's labeled large, so not many fit on screen.

Good feedback, thanks!

I just submitted a change to make this happen, should make the next patch in a week or two! No sorting options yet but inventories are now always sorted alphabetically.

Why are you stating this as if you are a PHXL employee?

Because I am (UI Engineer). My personal account doesn’t have flair yet. Normally, when we download the inventory from the server, it’s sorted by last updated but depending on how often players are hitting our databases, the order can be a bit chaotic. I submitted a change to our codebase to ensure inventories are sorted alphabetically as we unpack it from the server.

Ahh, sorry to accuse you then. Should really get in touch with someone to get a flare going, I think it's pretty important when responding to info like this.

While I have you though, idk if you can help with it, but glowing tailshards and the rare version too do not stack in your inventory. The ones from reza tail crystal.

Ah, thanks for the heads up! I’ll dig into this when everyone’s back in the office Monday.
