[Solved] Shift Clicking does not change descending to acending in soldier order.

[Akumati]

Title. By default it seems sorting soldiers in the skyranger is in descending order and the hotkey to change it is to shift click while selecting the sort order I wish (Firing accuracy, psy strength etc). However, this keybind doesn't work for me at all.

It works for me without problems.

Maybe a case of broken shift key on the keyboard? Try a different keyboard.

I know of cases where keyboard macros or other macro tools can cause problems with key hooks and key interception in games. Make sure you have none of those enabled.

If this is Linux, this is probably one of those things that libsdl12-compat emulation layer breaks because its CTRL/SHIFT/ALT-pressed actions are broken (at least in the way OXCE uses them).

If this is the case, you need to fall back to using real SDL 1.2, not use SDL2 compat layer provided by recent distributions. See https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/issues/338

The shift key works indeed. As far as I'm aware there's no macros active on this keyboard either that would prevent a keybind from working. For example, the extended movement using the cntr key works properly in the battlescape.

Perhaps I'm in the wrong menu? Something I didn't turn on? Here's a video with a keyboard overlay active: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asq0ZiHZ5jo

OpenXcom doesn't have this feature at all.

You need OpenXcom Extended: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=5258.0

Thank you for this. It's a godsend.
