If someone has the following on their retainer:

Animal Sinew
Beast Sinew
Hippogryph Sinew
Raptor Sinew
Diremite Sinew

He has to mouseover all of them to see which is which.

Similarly all of these look the same:

Bat Fang
Wolf Fang
Goobbue Fang
Sandworm Fang
Jackal Fang
Hellhound Fang

Why are the undyed cloths different icons? Why are the ingots different icons?

Nobody has 6 different keys on their keychain that all look alike and think it's a good idea.
just autosort and memorize the order, who cares.
