Chests : Auto-sorting

Post by Ecthelion »

Am I the only to find that this auto-sorting chests (In Castles, homes, shops, etc etc), are so annoying ?
Can't make any fair organization, it just messes it up right after.

Am I the only one who would like to see this removed ? That would be the best I can think of, really.
Cheers !

Since, AFAIK, these items load from an external database, I don't think it would be a good use of Dev time to also track and store their position within the containers.

They wouldn't be "removing" a "feature", they'd be adding a new one.

I have no idea about technicalities, but I think it goes in that little corner with other updates for life-quality-improving !

It annoys my ocd too, but it isn’t completely random: it (seems to ) recreate them after reset in the order they were added, same with stores. You can pre-sort it like this if you want to, by removing and re-adding everything in order.

Yes, I realize how anal that sounds!

Items in storage fixtures are indeed saved to the database.

It might be possible to implement something to have things sorted when the server restarts, but I doubt it will be worth the time to implement it.

I somehow foresee a Developer correcting me though.
