I find myself increasingly often not able to locate cards when I need them at short notice and even if I don't need them quickly it is starting to get annoying.

Sorting cards alphabetically solves this and is excellent way to tackling the increasing numbers of cards. Keeping normals and rares separated as is already done but adding the alphabetical sorting makes for a cleaner and more professional look while increasing the user friendliness too.

At least for a start, later on sorting by perms/spells/creatures will be surely needed.

The time is getting closer and closer for when this is needed imo. What other changes would you like to see?

I don't know... Maybe every year/season/4-6 months they review the sorting options?

Yes, and ASAP aswell. I dont think it should be that big of a project, tho theres -alot- of cards to move about. And if putting them alphabetically in the first place is the big job, hell. I'll make a list if desired. If that makes the job easier for zanz, not that organizing 16cards is too much work. Curious about how it is with moving them about ingame.

EDIT: But only ASAP if its not too much of a hassle!~~ :3

If you could see images on most of the cards again, this wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem.  My ability to identify cards at a glance dropped off a cliff after that change.

I agree that a new method of ordering the cards needs to be made, and the sooner the better. The more cards there are, the more initial confusion.

My thought was always to separate it into permanents, creatures, spells so that pillars/pendulums would be right at the top, or maybe even in their own category. Pendulums still aren't really introduced too well, so when they are in the middlish with 'P', I don't think that that will give them quite enough attention.

Also, rares aren't always on the edges, I have my trident and arctic squid imbetween purify and ice dragon, while even my nymph is on the wrong side of my water pendulums. Always confuses me when I see a little 7 or 8 and I urge to repeatedly click it and watch the little electrum count grow.


It's probably a good time to add this to the common feature requests, since I'm seeing this as pretty important. I'm biased, and I like it.
Good suggestion Rastafla

Im glad that a lot of people would like an improvement like this.

I understand it would still be ordered by element, correct? If so, a good idea.

Certainly. Each element is still separated as it is.

"sorted by Element -> unupped upped -> cards" is what the order is now. Rares are inbetween cards and all the types are all in a jumble and new cards are just next in line etc.

I wish for "sorted by Element -> unupped upped -> alphabetical order of cards" preferably cards will be divided by creature spell perm and rarity as well in the future and possibly after other criteria. Alphabetical is a must and after that we get more cards type will be needed.
