Order of keys

Postby CrashBlizz » Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:07 am

Could we have an option to view keys in a different order?

Currently you view them by number but I'd like to view them alphabetically by tag name. Just makes it a lot easier for people who have 40 odd keys to see what they have to which building. (as long as they tag correctly consistantly of course)

Example- Instead of having them all over your inventory, a choice to have it like:

346433 Main factory
8364528 Main Factory (room 1)
76947 Main Facotory (Room 2)
47569 Main Factory (storage)

I agree, but keys with the same tag, including no tag, should be still ordered by number.

As a bit of an aside, would it also be possible to have the keys on the ground have some order too. Keys in your inventory are ordered, but those on the ground have no obvious order, unless it is by the time they were dropped or something.

I thought it was the age of the key, but now I think you're right, order of dropping.

I think this is a good idea.

Either way, it's stupid because it has no functional justification for players. Keys with different numbers can be far apart in the inventory/object list.

+1 for the OP suggestion.

If we had the code for this, that code should also be adapted to enable me to sort my notes by name or age.

I am very pro this idea. More changes to improve the interface. :D
