    Sorting logic at selling item on marketboard ??

    When I put an items from my inventory or retainer for sell, that item should appear at the bottom but I found it randomly ordered in my selling list. And I can't see if it is sorting A-Z/Z-A.

    I doubt what is logic of item sorting in selling list. Anyone have some idea ?

    Thanks.

    I've noticed this too where items are randomly set up and down when put to be sold. With only 40 items though, I haven't been bothered too much. In past MMOs where I could have a couple thousand auctions, it would be very annoying.

    I will open the tab later this afternoon when I get home and see if I can discern a pattern.

    If you click the filter options (top right) on the Market Board, the sort orders I think are by quantity, or by "ID". ID does not appear to be alphabetical by name. I have zero experience designing games, but my best guess would be the ID is a reference code assigned to every object, and this is what the game is using as a default sort order. If you search for something like "fire" you'll note the shards / crystals / clusters are in "rank" order which, whilst I accept is not conclusive evidence, I think lends this idea done weight.

    I could be completely wrong, however

    Sure you are - the question is about selling (Retainers) not buying (MBs)

    And even with 20 slots per retainer this "mystery" sorting order is annoying, there should be an option to sort by name, price and "age" of the listing at least.
