character order on selection screen

[Deathrite]

I spent some time putting all my characters in order so I could see just how many I had of what AT. I get on today and they are totally random. all that time I spent organizing them gone. I have over 160 alts. It helps me to have them in some kind of order. Is there a setting I can click to automatically do this based on level or AT or days since played? or will I have to take the time each week to reorganize everything?

Did you log on from a different computer than the one you used to organize them? I think the order is stored on the computer, not the server.

This is right. Specifically, it is in Homecoming\accounts\accountname\playerslot.txt which you can edit manually. I play from multiple devices often and all my accounts have this file mirrored to the cloud so that I can get the same layout in the character select screen wherever I log in from.

Zect pretty much answered, but note that on the player select screen, you can do a search by Name, AT, and/or Powers

Note also you have to have “Remember me” (or whatever the check box is to automatically enter your user name) checked for playerslot.txt to be referenced.

This, even if on the same system, not clicking this will cause it not to retain the order.
