Quick'n'Dirty: Sorting Station Hold Items

Jun 09, 2007 Cunjo link
Not even asking for an interface or customizable sort orders at this point, just please, make the items sort out in the station hold. All of the AAPs should be together, all the laws, all the UCs, all the storm extenders, all the mining beams, etc...

It should look like this:

Axia Accelerated Positron Blaster
Axia Accelerated Positron Blaster
Axia Accelerated Positron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Storm Radar Extender
Storm Radar Extender
...

NOT Like this:

Axia Accelerated Positron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Axia Accelerated Positron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Storm Radar Extender
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
Storm Radar Extender
Axia Accelerated Positron Blaster
Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
...

It gets really, really annoying to hunt and peck for a couple items in a really long station hold list... and it takes much, much longer than it should.

Dude, I can't tell you how many times this has been suggested by all of us.
Frustrating!
I expect it to appear with the new database setup.

x3 Accelerated Positron Blaster
x5 Law Enforcement Neutron Blaster
x2 Storm Radar Extender

Hm. Maybe the Devs ought to make a system for alphabetizing all the duplicate threads about this suggestion.

The database is also in need of some serious optimization. It takes far too long to sell an inventory item.

The thing is, while we all know a full db revamp is a lot of work, and that the devs say the ideal arrangement (of stackable weapons) would be difficult to do, simply sorting the list should be easy enough to push out in the next update unless I'm missing something... can we gat word from a dev please?

EDIT: Yes, I know its been suggested before multiple times (and I know I've personally started at least one thread on it) but I can't be assed to mess with the search feature right now, and frankly I think we need a refresher.
