Scroll Cases Not Alphabetizing Properly

Description of Bug Experienced:
(please include information of what you did, that lead up to the bug, what you expected to happen there, and what actually happened, then move on to describe below:)
Had a Scroll Case with Black Blade of Disaster in it, which isn't in alphabetical order. It's below Burst of Glacial Wrath, but above Cat's Grace. During testing for this report, I also found Blank Scrolls do the same thing.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Put a Blank scroll or a scroll of Blade of Black Disaster in a scroll case by any means.
Use Scroll case to view contents.


Expected Result:
BoBD Scrolls are sorted between Bigby's Interposing Hand and Blackstaff.
Blank Scrolls are sorted between Blackstaff and Blindness/Deafness

Actual Result:
Both are sorted at the end of the B section.

Additional Information/Notes
I only have access to Wizard scrolls for this test.
Tests were done on Guldorand Server only, as part of another project.
This was tested across two separate Scroll Cases.

I'll take a look soon.

I'm going to be adjusting the way in which the limiter works to count individual scroll records instead of total items (so instead of x scrolls it'll be x different scrolls) as I believe that to be the issue instead, so will see how it's doing this then.

Yeah, cause the more I work on this project, the more issues I'm noticing. Dominate spells are out of order too.

EDIT: ... And Delayed Blast Fireball, too.
EDIT EDIT: And Flame Shield is being called Elemental Shield in the scroll case... Think I might put this project off until we try your changes. Subscribing to this topic, hope to hear from you.

This is such good news !!! :heart:

Btw, concerning alphabetical order in scroll cases, only the first letter of the spell has been taken into account since it's been implemented (which has been a blessing compared with random and always a different random on top of that xD) ... I mean to say that it was this way before the number limitation, if it helps ... But x different scrolls (if the limit isn't too low) is filling my heart with hope ;-)

FYI - this is not limited to scroll cases. I have seen errors in mining bags and gem bags too.

This system of alphabet ordering is not light weight enough for me to feel comfortable adding what would effectively be 26 * 26 for 1 more letter of ordering.
