CEDR Display improvements
Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:42 pm
Hello,
Since the beginning of time itself, all exiles have wanted the CEDR, long shop lists, and other various lists throughout Core Exiles to:
1) Remember your view preferences (i.e., 25, 50, 75, 100 entries per page)
2) Allow for sorting all lists (i.e., some NPC shops do not let you sort based on cost, captain level, etc, but only display equipment for sale alphabetically)
3) Remember your search queries when you return to the list after viewing an entry (e.g., so you do not need to type "settlement" into the Galactic Emporium every time you finish viewing a settlement item), and
4) Sort lists of numbers as though they were numbers rather than text (currently, sorting by credits cost will place items costing "10,000,000" before items costing "200" because 1 comes before 2).
While many long-standing exiles have grown accustomed to working around these existing quirks, the status quo can make navigating the CEDR and various shops quite frustrating for new exiles. It also makes comparing Galactic Emporium entries extremely frustrating, limiting the usefulness of the Emporium search tool.
Other list sorting and viewing ideas are most welcome, so please feel free to *cough* list them here!
