MMORPGs moving to 1-10 MS server side polling

[Shougun]

I know enough about the subject to know that a list of displayed names on screen should not be "difficult" to sort, period.

The entire game is poorly coded, both to accommodate the limitations of the PS3 and due to sloppy work on SE's part. All they do is make constant excuses about it.... sorting name... housing... etc.

Its like they put no forethought into anything.

I'm going to assume Tiggy programs better than I, but I'd just like to chime in and say that it is quite possible that they have the data managed in a way that is not easy to sort. Imo they should just auto sort the list that is pulled to your computer (such a small list, even if originally in a different data type wouldn't take long to pre-sort). At least then players don't have to request it to be sorted (save sorting preferences in some local area, like the UI - most players will be none the wiser from it).
