Sorting and Sections? Empty Sorting and Sections?

Post by Sif Wed Jul 06, 2011 3:38 am

Okay, the viewing system looks great, but I happen to notice once a user accumulates a significant amount of creatures ( http://projectnyoka.com/user/ignite444 for example) things start getting split into pages, and it can get a bit confusing trying to find what needs to be clicked.

Perhaps have the ability to split the menagerie into sections? These can be automatic (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega sections) or user-set (Here's what /needs/ to be clicked, Can click these if you want, don't click these, these are adults I don't care if you click these) or whatever the user likes. The second, obviously, being more complex.

Secondly, the ability to sort. That way, you can put the ones you want viewed/clicked the most at the front, and/or organize things by breed and gender (like I do my scroll on DC... >>; Gets quite complex with a custom sort and nearly 900 dragons).

As though things look lovely the way they are, it works fine for somebody with <20 creatures. Once you start getting to any larger amount (look at the five pages in ignite's menagerie, linked above) it starts getting a little bit more difficult to navigate, and not much room for admiring another's menagerie, as you get this "okay, just go to the end and click the alphas" thing. And I love admiring people's scrolls on DC. :<

So, I'm wondering what can be done to make this lovely setup a little bit more streamlined to viewing large menageries.

Yes yes, I agree whole hardily. I want to be able to sort my creatures (like we can on Avadopts or better). I've been wanting to sort my adults by biomes for ages.

Yes, I agree as well. The different sections could just be multiple of the menagerie scroll boxes thingies (what the heck are those called, anyway?) underneath each other which you can give a title (or standard titles, pretty much everything Sif said).

I'll be adding a section already in the settings that lets you pick a sort order and put Alphas, Betas, and Deltas at the front of your menagerie so they get clicked. I was also going to add the zones later on (like the ones we have on Avadopts).
