How exactly does /isort work?

[Zfz]

Problem solved:

I've just realized that

/isort condition armourychest category asc
/isort execute armourychest

gives the same result as

/isort execute armourychest

In other words, everything in the armoury chest belong to the same category, i.e. "gear".

Problem solved.

Now I would really love to have a role condition, that would sort gear according to what role it was intended for. E.g. tank, heal, dps.

Please take a look at this picture:



I sort my AC by descending order of item category. Just this one condition. The results shows:

• Purple: seasonal gear don't below to the same category?
• Red: tanking gear (i.e. only GLA/PLD/MRD/WAR) also got separated?
• Green: DoH gear is put in-between DoM gear and DoW gear.
• Yellow: DoL gear also separated

Could someone please share some insights on why it's doing this?

I'm trying to write a macro that would sort Tank gear > DoW > DoM > DoH > DoL > Seasonal/bonus items, or a variation of that order but in those grouping. Then within each grouping, sort using iLv and then Lv. But I'm getting stuck on the very first step of sorting stuff into sensible groupings.

Any hints would be appreciated.
