Location of some tools on object page

Postby SumBum » Tue Jul 15, 2014 10:05 pm

These items appear between clothing and coins on the object page. They should be listed above clothing where other tools / handheld machines are located. Thanks!

a brand new wooden mortar and pestle (probably all mortar and pestle types need to be fixed)
meat grinder
hibachi

The hibachi and meat grinder are machines, not tools, so it could very well be that that's just their place.... Not a bug, but maybe still something you'd like to be changed though.

They aren't listed with machines either. Machines come after coins. Buckets are considered machines and tools but get listed with tools, which is why I mentioned "handheld machines". :)

Mortar and pestle is also a handheld machine, so that explains why these three are grouped together.

But that doesn't explain why they are not grouped together with a bucket.

My guess is that they are all counted among the "machines" and then sorted by ID or something similar. *shrugs*

They were probably overlooked when object page sorting was implemented. Else they're newer and weren't part of that initial flagging process. Irrelevant.... They do not appear where they should and I'm simply requesting that they get fixed, please. :) Call it a bug, call it cosmetic, whatever. The object page sorting was already accepted and implemented so this is more of a "something's wrong and needs to be fixed" versus a suggestion. That's all - just a minor issue.

Yeah I realize the discussion is a bit irrelevant. I agree with the suggestion/bug report.
