I think that better then pressing a key would be to just make the table header clickable so we can sort by any column. And of course, the default should stay as original xcom. By the way, I think that in original it's actually groupped into few sections (with ammo always under its weapon) and sorted alphabetically. But I'm not sure.

This will be another reason for people playing OpenXcom instead of X-Com or XCOM.

Is it possible to arrange the items alphabetically by pressing a button? This is useful when your item list becomes longer and longer.
Old versions of OpenXcom listed the items alphabetically and people didn't like it one bit. :P I forsee a million options in the future...

SupSuper, do you consider merging it after 0.4 will be released?

I think that the original DOS Xcom listed the items alphabetically, but in english. It was pain because it didn't make sense translated - it was sorted neither alphabetically nor logically. I'd probably prefer this tabbed view (with one tab showing everything) and then sorted alphabetically.

Ok, I believe this was the consensus on what the tabbed Sell/Sack menu should look like. So I also applied it to the Purchase/Hire menu.
Very interesting proposition...
A newbie question : will these nice features be integrated in final release ?

We're currently in a feature freeze to officially release the 0.5.0 version, so no new features will be added to nightly builds until we get a bug-free (or nearly bug-free) release version ready. If you'd like to speed up that point, please assist by downloading the latest Git build, and testing it with lots of different situations, and on non-windows platforms. :)

From someone who just noticed this thread, allow to say, I really like some of Starkmad's edits. Frankly I'd even add another category strictly for HWPs.

Most browsers have a zoom/fit-to-width option. Anyways it's Buy/Sell split in item categories, I've been meaning to add it for a while but other stuff keeps coming up.
