    Sort routines are difficult to incorporate into any code. This isn't the kind of thing that's taught in a first year programming curriculum.

    We did sorting algorithms in Programming 250 and 260 when I was in college. I took them Freshmen year. It's not that difficult.

    Would be a good option for an addon. Skyrim inventory management wasn't all that great, but it was easily rectified by a sorting mod. For skyrim, on console, they eventually added a patch that added sorting capabilities. Don't see why they couldn't do it for ESO.


    PS: HELL YEAH!

    Sorting is easy. Sorting efficiently and not setting your database on fire... that's another story ;)

    If you are alluding to Zenimax hiring amateur coders, then well played sir, well played.

    Even the efficiency isn't that hard. I think we did sorting efficiency in my Data Structures and Algorithmic Analysis class my junior year? Database efficiency basically came down to "use indices" as well.

    Though I can't deny we are having some DB performance issues at work as I speak, it's almost entirely unrelated to sorting.

    Is it really that hard to allow item stacking? Did they do it on purpose? On top of all that, the guild bank can go frustratingly slow sometimes. I love this game, but there are so many little things, in this game, that are incredibly time consuming.

    We are having them as well. The poor DBAs are chained to their desks at the moment.

    I would be absolutely fascinated to just get a glimpse of the background databases that run itemization in this game (or any MMO, for that matter). Especially the guild banks, the poor things. Everytime I open one I can almost hear the server whine.

    Game developers and programmers don't make nearly enough, seeing as they use some of the more complicated and complex technologies to accomplish what they do.

    Isn't it basically sorted into categories though? There are categories and then sub-categories basically for your inventory. The only thing that needs a sort option is crafting...I just want all of 1 item next to each other so I don't need to go back and forth seeing if I have that already for research.

    It's already sorted alpha in groups.

    I'm talking about 10 separate stacks of say fish barley etc....the 500/500 turns into 256/500 after you stack what everyone is depositing

    For inventory if I'm low on health potions and someone gives me a few they don't stack they stay in two separate stacks

    As I understand it, Guild banks used to auto-stack back when the game first launched on PC. ZOS actually disabled it due to a duping glitch that involved the auto-stacking.

    Instead of actually fixing the dupe glitch, they just left guild banks without the ability to auto-stack.

    And for PC, there actually is an addon for this: It's called Roomba.

    Note that the addon actually has to pull the items out of the guild bank, stack them in your inventory, and redeposit them into the guild bank.

    {edited to clarify auto-"stacking" versus auto-"sorting"}
