This just came up on the Scout's Sanctuary forums..
There are two modes that tracking currently operates in:
1. By distance, regardless of con or name
2. By con first and by name second
There is also a potential third mode that tracking could operate in that may just be bugged
3. By name, regardless of con
Actually it's even buggier than I'm letting on because when you sort by name, the con is sorted alphabetically rather than by difficulty, meaning that not only does it not sort by name but the *cons* are sorted blue, gray, green, orange, red, white, yellow instead of gray, green, blue, white, yellow, orange, red.
Sorting by distance is an even worse issue. Basically when you first load track it is organized by distance. If you choose to sort by name at any time, you cannot return to the distance sort without camping and re-logging.
Major improvements would be:
1. Provide an actual by-difficulty sort
2. Provide an actual by-distance sort
3. Provide an actual by-name sort
4. Provide two of the above simultaneously
Two drop downs could do all of this:
1. Primary sort - (Con, name or distance)
2. Secondary sort - (Con, name or distance)
Another very general change that could help greatly would be to reduce the font size on the tracking window to something very small, like the equivalent of an Arial Narrow 6 on a termpaper.. Something that would allow you to display the entire tracking window without scrolling.
