    I think it unfortunately seems to show (again!) that the folks doing/testing the coding don't actually play the game. I cannot imagine anyone who plays the game at anything more than a rudimentary level would have been satisfied with the new "default" sort for the specialist tab, or how the filters apply to many of the other tabs.

    From a coding perspective, it's likely the code works exactly as it was designed to and there is some describable reason why an un-renamed Swift Supplier shows up in the midst of the different explorer types in the "default" sort (likely, the "specialist type" attribute behind the scenes causes this to happen in some sort of numerical ordering). What needs to happen, though, is someone with an understanding of the game (a player!) and a UI expert needs to sit down with the coders and explain how the PLAYERS view things (explorers - of different flavors - are all still explorers and expedition supply generals are something else) and the coding/attributes need to be set up to allow for a player-centric view, not a programmer-centric one. As another example, Adventures sorted by "type" means something to the player that is different than what it means to the programmer (thus why sorting adventures by type doesn't seem to work at all), but the UI needs to be designed around the players' perspective.

    We aren't all going to agree 100% on what that *should* be, and some of us will end up using a workaround of some sort no matter what, but there's got to be a better "default" that might work for *most* without requiring *most/all* to use a workaround. What we currently have, isn't that.

    Greetings, if i could add to the comment above of resorting the specialists back to how it was before the sorting update, (which would be nice because i hard put books in the depending on when i got them so now the order is out of wack...) would be that the filter would auto clear when the star menu goes down. so that we don't have to clear the filter each time we use it.

    at default setting it separates the 3 gen, explorer, and geo. naming them for their abilities (i.e. adventure 1-4, rarity 1-5, artifact 1-9) or whatever you booked them for works well, it did for me anyway. I did it with the gens too (MMA 1-5 and so on) you need to refresh before it sorts them all out but works really well

    I don't know about what use default would be, but I'm really liking the sort by name. My geologists appear at the top of the all list, followed by my explorers, all in the order I want them. Most of the buffs I use appear at the top of the buff list without needing to scroll. The adventures I do also appear right at the top. Search is a nice touch, though normally I only ever search for wedding, which brings up everything needed for that.
