Alphabetically Sort Prospecting List on World Map

[zimt]

Hi, everyone.

I do not know if listed entries from the prospecting tab/window on the world map follow any specific order, but if not, I suggest listing the entries in an alphabetical order (ascending or descending) to make it easier for users to search for a specific material.

Below is a screenshot of the prospecting tab/window, which becomes visible after the world map has been opened:

I found myself sometimes searching a little bit too long to find the material I was looking for. That's the reason I created this suggestion.

What do you think? 

 

With best regards,

zimt

I've often thought this myself. It'd make searching for specific ores much easier.

This, just as long as the filter for everything stays at the top of the list.

Search box that you can type in would be more enjoyable imo. They make them so they are a sort of combo box that you can type in them to narrow the drop down list and then the list (which is sorted alphabetically) filters itself to entries that contain what you typed. Autocorrect not included.

I guess the current order is from some inherent item id order based on the introducing order of certain ore, which could be the natural way the game recognizes items.

And yes, an alphabetical order would be the natural way for human player.

Good suggestion @zimt.

In the meantime, I have made a mod to make that list alphabetically sorted: https://mods.vintagestory.at/alphabeticallysortedprospectinglist
