There are many times when I see a minion and can't remember if I already own it or not. Unfortunately, it's not easy to look through my list of owned minions (via the Minion Guide) to find it, as they are sorted by type first and then seemingly by ID. The best you can do is skim the icons trying to match it by picture, but it forces you to go through your whole collection and the images tend to run together anyway.
Can you please add an option to sort minions by NAME? That way, if I want to see if I already own the "Clockwork Barrow", I can sort by name and quickly check the C's to find it -- or NOT find it.
The Minion Guide UI has no sorting options at all, but if you go into the Lord of Verminion "Minion Hotbar Editor" UI it will let you sort -- just not by name.
