Hello,
this is kinda a weird question which came on my mind. Does anyone know why titles are sorted the way they are and not alphabetically? Is there any reason behind it?

Any idea why are titles sorted this way?

It's in the order that you earned them. Dunno why that's the order they chose, but it is, as far as I can tell.

They might be based on their position in the achievement window, or based on the order they were added to the game.

I always thought each were sorted based on the category
Ex:
Jobs
Relic(s)
PvP
Mandervile
MSQs

I think they all must have a hidden ID tag (just a number) and they're sorted based on that. The actual order might arise form when they settled on the name (since it doesn't seem to be category, implementation, alphabetical, etc.) and entered it into the database. I've noticed the same thing with the minion guide window. Minions are sorted in a predetermined order that is not based on when they were released (notice Midgardsormr on the front page). Of course in the case of Midgardsormr, that minion may have been created or at least assigned a tag ages ago when they first knew that they would add him.

It maybe sorted by achievement category.

It's based on the order the title was added the game accorcing to my research. You can check the story related titles and they are correctly chronologically and all the initial titles are in the beginning of the list. My lowest ones are also the newest; bearer of the torch and half-boiled heroine.

I thank you all for your answers,
I think that this might be the right answer sir. I was going trough the titles I have and except the titles from 2.0 (these are sorted probably by their type or something) all titles from 2.1 to 2.55 are sorted by time they were added.Quote:

Regardless of the reasons for the current way the titles list is sorted SE really needs to do something with it. It's already growing to be quite unmanageable and it will undoubtedly get much bigger in Heavensward.
They need to split them into achievement categories, then order them alphabetically under each, and give us some way to remember how we got the title (I often discover a new title and have no idea how I got it). -

The real question is, why is there a "the postman" and "postman" title. Super creativity right there square

I've always thought the same thing about emotes... Alphabetical emotes, please!! The colors (blue=negative, gold=positive, grey=neutral) aren't enough!

Greetings,
The development team will look into the possibility of adding a sort feature for titles, but we don't have a specific time frame to share with you at the moment. Thanks for the feedback! -

array.sort()
Your welcomed SE, please send my check by post. -
04-09-2015, 06:42 AMStrejdaTom
Wow, I didn't even expect such kind of reply. :D
Looking forward to sort option one day, then. :) No need to hurry as there are more important things to do. -
04-09-2015, 06:52 AMDragonFlyyThat doesn't give us the option to sort how we want, even further than that, array.sort might not work in the language that the game is programmed in.Quote:

04-09-2015, 03:01 PMBreathlessTaoWhile you're at it, please also add alphabetical sorting to the emotes. It's mind-boggling that both have been (seemed, for all we can tell) so random for more than one and a half year now, and nobody's bothered with either, like it's perfectly logical and fine. @_@Quote:

Two main ways to get it done. Either assign every title a second ID that puts them into the correct order but has to be redone every time new titles are added to the game, or add an algorithm client-side that'll alphabetize everything(and probably save a local sort list like your macros and item sortings) when you change to that mode.

04-09-2015, 06:48 PMBalipuHow about the ability to use two titles at once. Some are prefixes others are suffixes. Being able to use one of each would be nice. If I remember correctly RIFT was the MMO that did the same thing.Quote:

This would compound that problem and lead to more people turning titles off. I'd rather more people be able to see one title that I'm displaying than fewer people able to see two. Also, as much as I like to see titles, I'd probably turn them off if this was done (and people always used two titles, which, well, they would) just to cut down on screen clutter. They could include the ability to only see prefixes or only see suffixes, but I like how we can see a mix now, and that would be lost.Quote:
