Something that I thought needed to be addressed, re: lists

Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to talk about this for a little while, and nobody else seems to have brought it up yet; unfortunately, a search of the forums revealed nothing I could use.

One really significant problem I’ve noticed over the past several months, is that once one starts building more than, say, 30 or so cars or engines, it starts to get a little difficult keeping a track of them all, especially if you want, and/or need, to make changes. Why is that? I’ll gladly tell you: everything you make, yes, everything, is essentially shuffled into a completely random order, with no rhyme or reason to it whatsoever. I myself have built a lot of cars and engines(possibly over 200 at this point), and does, unfortunately, get to be a real pain in the rear to have to search thru all those cars, or engines, just to find one that you’d like to tweak. :neutral_face: :neutral_face:

Could you guys please fix this problem sometime? If the selection lists were in alphabetical order, or at least had that option available, it would not only be rather more convenient for those of us who are more than occasional players, but it would also be a rather good-sized improvement to the game, and folks will no doubt appreciate it…I know I would!

Just thought I’d put it out there.

in the sandbox car tab if you click on name year etc…
it will sort out the list for you

it won’t work in the engine tab thou

The car side of the sandbox is sortable. You just have to click on the column at the top you want to search by, be it the year, name, etc. The engines on the other hand are in random order. I think it would be nice if everything was sorted alphabetically by default, but we had the option to sort based other aspects as well. It also helps with comparisons as well.

Sortable lists are coming back, the feature was deactivated as it was buggy and there were more pressing matters at hand. It’s a good time to look into this again I think, too.
