Confirmation Prompt for "Sort" command, please!

[Chihaya]

Ability to toggle off the sort function completely in config

I know a lot of players arrange their inventory in a certain way and sorting by accident really mess things up.
The sort function have absolutely no use to them but messing up their way of organization.

This would be great but only for the 0.00000001% players who cant click on a function properly

There is no need to make such hyperbolic comments to emphatize how stupid you think I am.
You are probably a Keyboard gamer, so you don't know that the most of us Gamepad gamer push UP-UP-X to Discard Items. Sometimes, 1 out of 500 times, we misclick UP-UP-X for UP-X and a lot of trash that we wanted to delete end shuffled between useful stuffs.

Now, I'm happy you are a brilliant player who thinks people who does that mistake are stupid players. Then yes, I'm happy to confirm, I'm a stupid player who sometimes misclick that.
Am I asking to change something that would bother you?
No, I'm simply asking to add a checkable option in the configuration menu to add that possibility.
And by the way, if the 99.99999999% of players is obnoxious as you are, I'm happy being in the latter 0.000000001%.

Ive been on PS3 since the game release and upgraded to the PS4 ten days ago. always played with the Dualshock in hand .

Your argument is invalid.

[Elusana_Celah]

I disagree. I use sort constantly throughout the day and I have 4 retainers and do a lot of gathering and what not. This game already has confirmations up the wazzoo in fact it's awful at times. Like you gotta click a check box just to click the confirmation to delete certain items from your inventory lol.

I mean I've had those moments where I was sorting all my gathering materials I plan to sell to the bottom right of my inventory so they are away from everything else for me to easily look at and see how many I have then I accidentally sort it. Minor inconvenience that does NOT equal the inconvenience that would be created from having a confirmation box. You will waste significantly more time on a SORT confirmation window than correcting your mistakes from clicking sort accidentally.

[Ultear_Milkovich]

This is actually one of the few things in the game that should indeed have a confirmation prompt. Sort screws up any sort of custom organising.

.

Then dont click on "Sort" if you, i dont know... dont want to sort? Its not an automatic function.
It wont sort if you dont click. The developers did their job right.

[Ultear_Milkovich]

People made a mistake once - due to lack of attention - with no serious consequence (i mean this is not like throwing a job cristal away) and then ask for a game patch to prevent this from happening again. Really?

hopefully SE has a lot of much more serious things to do.

"Sort" command is a little too close to "Discard" command and it often happens I have a misclick on that that screws all my inventory and takes a lot to put things back like they were.
Can we have at least the option to put a Confirmation Prompt for that? There is a similar option for other Prompts already.

Easier solution would be to put "Discard" farther away from "Sort"
Or play with controller. 2 push on d-pad up and you are on "Discard"

I use controller and use both sort and custom. I use sort when I have all the items in my inventory I want to keep and let the rest of the inventory slots be filled up as I play through out the day. Then I sort what I got manually...in reverse. I put all the stuff I want to hand in for GC seals at the very bottom and the stuff I want to sell to npc right after it while keeping the stuff I want to throw to my retainer right after all the sorted inventory from before. Then I keep playing again until I stop by a city. I have never accidentally auto sorted my inventory.

Prompts for this are absolutely unnecessary.

[Dreufo]

I've had this happen a couple of times and it did piss me off. I don't like the way the game only sorts one way which is why I customize.

The best solution is just to have a configuration setting for what 'type' of sorting you like. Default, Alpha, or Prompt for example.

[Fynlar]

Please no, not unless it's optional. I sort all the time and it would get tiresome to have to confirm it every time.
