Remove Auto-Sort for Enhancement Table

[lyra]

At the moment, it's tedious to take a complete set. It would be nice if you could prevent the table from sorting things.

 

also on my wishlist with lower priority: sort button for EnhTray.it could just clear all empty slot and move all enh to the first free slots.

Like you can rightclick+M to Move Enh to the Table.If you are not in interaction with the table you can rightclick+M to Move to first free slot.

Do you mean the thing where when you take a couple enhancers out a little too fast, it rearranges the whole table and then you go search for the set again and the next one you take out rearranges it again back to the original arrangement? If so, hard agree! It's super frustrating!

 

I think it's a bug that's been around for a very long time and as much I'd love it to get fixed, I'm not gonna hold my breath. The only workaround I've found is to not click them too fast. Take them out at a rate of about 1 per second, a full Mississippi between clicks or even a hair more. If you see it re-arrange, just close the bin and re-open it and things will be back to normal. It's faster than trying to locate where you were only for it be rearranged again as soon you take 1 more enhancer out.

 

I like your enhancement tray idea! I'd also like a "Move all enhancements to bin" or "Move all enhancements to AH" option.

What we need is for the enhancement tables to actually sort the enhancements in them, not just show them sorted. What is going on is that the display of the enhancements stored is sorted alphabetically, but the database 'inside' the table records the enhancements in the order that they've been added (IIRC, this made the SG leader's audit function easier for the Paragon Studios devs to write). When you take an enhancement out, it takes the earliest-stored one of that type. If there are more of that type of enhancement in storage, but the next internal slot isn't that type, then the display part of the interface gets confused, and you get the annoying jump in position to what the next most recently added enhancement was. To fix this, adding an enhancement to the table should resort the internal list, but this would require rewriting other functions associated with the SG leader's audit capability, and might require changing the database structure of all the storage objects.

Appreciate the insight on what going on behind the scenes there! I'd absolutely love some proper, user controlled sort options!

This one sounds like a good idea.
