Bug: Resources on objects page "jumping around"

Postby tazer » Fri Jan 29, 2010 2:16 am

I noticed this when organising a pile of resources and taking the healing foods out. I would go from top to bottom looking for healing foods and dragging them into a new place then all of a sudden I saw healing foods in a place I thought I already checked :?: So I kept doing it keeping track of where resoruces were and they ARE in fact getting rearranged each time. I'm now going to check if they are all at least visible just in a different order

I've noticed the object list gets reorganized every time you load the page, too. Don't know how long it's been doing that. Pretty recent. I didn't think it was like that before, but couldn't remember for certain. Old age sucks.

I'm pretty (like 90%) Sure it didn't used to do that.

It doesnt seem to miss anything though, just reorganized.

You're all correct, it never used to happen.. It must have something to do with how php/mysql sorts the data out.

My issue is that any new notes I make are going to the bottom of my note list, so I have to scroll through tons of notes to get my copy which used to appear at the top.

Kind of annoying isn't it, everytime i fail to find something i tend to start looking again from one end of the list and scroll past all the entries but i noticed an odd difference in raws.

When i drop a part of the amount in inventory the sequence stays the same but when i drop all i have of one resource the list is rerranged. It used to be the last resource i pick up is at the top of the list and stays in that spot, pretty useful when i'm ie transferring resources from a ship to a building. Since someday in january this has changed and the last resource i pick up is at the end of the list of raws, just above the first item which is often a trowel. The youngest note is now also found at the bottom just above the envellopes.

This similar issue occurs in the list produced when i hit activity and then search. Suppose in this town is a number of old carrotfarming projects and i try to find the one closest to 99%, the one top of the series is at 61%. I click the other projects but 61 is high, when i return to that spot it's not the same project.

It also happens with activities too. I have 6 projects set up and 5 others working on them. One project finished and I needed to see which one did so I could pay the guy for doing the work. It took quite awhile to check all the rest cause of all the jumping around.

Yeah, seems like an "ORDER BY *" clause has been removed somewhere in the DB scripts. Things like this should be consistent for ease of game play, and should be fixed. :)
