[Suggestion] Sorting soldiers list in basescreen
« on: February 22, 2025, 12:27:33 am »
1. Please make descending order here for all options except Name and ID number. Usually we need to know about our champions or most wounded soldiers at first, not scroll to them via bunch of rookies/zeroes if base is overcrowded.

2. _Please_ make "original order" option being remembered when we leave this screen. As now it is easy to mess up such order (which affects craft allocation btw) if we do not manually selecting it back before leaving.

PS "Training" sub window should be treated correspondenly.

1. shift+click

2. not possible to "remember it", whatever you mean by that... it is possible to "apply it" automatically when leaving the screen, but many players would be against it I think (including me, I hate when the game does something automatically for me even though I may not want it)

Amazing. Thanks for sharing yet another bit of oxce hidden wisdom! Although I see little point to use ascending as default, I can live now with just +1 click.

This point is more important. So I'll try to repeat it in other words. When I leave such soldiers's list, then last used sorting order becomes new "original order", losing old, custom one, which can be quite annoying.

The answer is still the same, you should change the order back manually, I will not be changing it back automatically.

PS: also, if the order would always change back automatically, you'd never be able to create a custom order

True) So I'm qualify suggestion: rename this (first) option to "custom order" which will be activated and stored each time when we manually moving soldiers up/down in the list. When there will be no need in reverting it back on exit, of course.

I think that "Preview *" feature (in craft managment section) was even more cumbersome for coding.
