Default Quest Window Mod

A mod to sort quests by various criteria, quickly, would be amazing. Let me give some examples...

The idea that broght me here was sort by level... It would be nice to be able to sort the quests (regardless of other criteria) by level so I can take them on incrementally.

Then I got to thinking about how I'll lag (not a typo) into a city zone and leave just to realize I needed to talk to someone else there and will have to lag right back into it.... so i reload the zone and am more laggy this time because of the issues going on right now with frequent zoning... yeah I know "buy more ram".. well send me the cash and i'll be happy to regardless.. what if I could hit a checkbox or button in my quest window and have the quests listed that have some sort of relevance to the zone I'm in?

Lastly.. I'm not sure this one would be possible without an external database and the ability to access it.. but it would be awesome to see the rewards for various quests as you work on them.. or (now i'm going way out on a limb) if the quest is broken and irrelevant... talk about prioritization

Anyway.. I know you modders do this for the challenge and fun of it, and i definitely appreciate any and all mods I have tried whether or not i end up using it in the long term. if any/either/all these ideas spark some kind of vision or motivation i'd be more than happy to try it on my obviously inadequate box

thanks

Unfortunately, none of that is possible. The closest you could come would be to create a simple (and I really, really stress simple) website of quests and rewards and load it using the built-in HTML viewer. As far as quest sorting goes, all of that data is handled server-side, we don't get to muck with it.

The first two are things that the developers apparently have planned for later. There's a (currently disabled) dropdown box, likely for choosing sort order, in the default UI right now.

Thanks for responding.. I feared that would be the case, but there's no harm in trying.
