Summary0006481: Enchant auto-sort
DescriptionMy enchanting inventory is getting huge. It is 9 lines tall and growing. Sorting these is becoming a nightmare. At the very least, grouping them by equip location would be nice. Also a way to order them from strongest to weakest within those groups.

How do you value strongest to weakest? That's not something we can do with any granularity. Why are you carrying so much stuff? Just dump the stuff you don't want down a hole -- the old way of it basing enchants partly off what was in your inventory is long gone, so you can dump unwanted merchandise without fear.

Rough value, just by how many points of stuff it has, would probably be all I'd be thinking of. Regardless of what it does, if it has 40% X, 5% Y, and so on it would be higher than something with just 20% Z. But yeah, I could just throw it all on the floor too.

Edit: Well, I got it down to 5 lines at least. There's a whole lot of things that I feel the need to hang on to just in case I suddenly need to stack all the highest possible jump height or projectile speed... (This week on hoarders: glyphbearers)

That makes some good sense. It's certainly an enhancement to look at, but in the pre-1.0 timeframe I think it's mainly going to come down to clean sweeping every so often. ;)

How do you feel about the recent changes? Do these satisfy what you were wanting with this ticket?

I'm late to respond as usual, but unless I'm missing something I haven't seen any changes that actually sort enchants in any way. Yes, it does now highlight things for the slot you have selected, which is nice. But I'd still like a way to make it group everything by slot, if nothing else. This may seem silly, but I like to have all my enchants of one type together. I can do this by dragging them all around myself, but then when I get a new one I have to manually move everything around to make space for it. Or I could leave big gaps in my categories, but then when I get a new one I have to figure out where it ended up in my list.

Ideally a sort button that sorts them into groups by slot, and descending in quality colors would be the best thing. (Also some sort of graphical effect that highlights the enchants you've picked up since last opening your enchant inventory would be nice)

@BobTheJanitor: I had that problem until I started having the enchants "stacked" vertically by category going from the top instead of the bottom; that way, all new enchants pop up at the bottom away from my other sorted enchants.

An easy solution: Sort by slot.

At that point it's just lining up like Enchants and comparing. I've done this when my enchant inventory gets a bit large and it works great, if a LITTLE time consuming t'do.

What I think would work (including parts from what people have said above):
* A 'Sort by slot' button, which will:
* Group same-kind together (so all of the 'Featherweight' enchants will be together, etc). I suppose the featherweights could sort themselves by...age, or something? Any arbitrary way of sorting same-name enchants should be fine, preferably as long as it's consistent.
* The leftmost slot (feet?) should be sorted at the top and/or leftmost part of the enchant inventory, etc - all the way to the rightmost (attack?) enchant going in the rightmost and/or bottom part of the enchant inventory.
* For multiple enchants that go in the same slot, sort them alphabetically.
