Issue w/ Deconstructing Items Post-CWC

There is something seriously off about deconstructing items after CWC.

I haven't had a chance to video it and I'm still trying to establish the new pattern (if there is one).

When you deconstructed an item prior to CWC it would pick the next item under it to be next for deconstruction.

Now? I don't know what item is next on the chopping block.

Yes I can lock items I don't want deconstructed. However sometimes I forget and when a gold item I got from a Leaderboard pops up next instead of the 'Rubedo Arm Cops of Health' that were supposed to be next, that's a problem.

Short term solution - slow down I guess.

    This is weird. It doesn't happen to me. Maybe an addon has messed up things? (if you're on PC ofc)

    Honestly, if I see anything in the decon panel I don't want to rip apart at the moment, I'll lock it right then, and shove it in my bank.

    In unrelated news I've got 480 items in my bank.

    Yes. XBox1. Drives me crazy. Every deletion re-sorts the list. I deleted a nice BSW staff the other day because it jumped up under my cursor and my fingers deconstructed it before my brain could stop them.

    I'm on PS4 and the way items jump around when I'm deconing is annoying. I have a lot of stuff in the bank for research and I've deconstructed quite a few because of the way the list is acting now.

    I think I saw something in the notes about it resorting the list. Like putting things you would be most likely to sell at the top of the inventory when you got to a vendor.

    Accidently deconned an Asylum resto 2 days ago because of this. Probably wasn't going to use it but I was still mad about it. On Xbox for what it's worth.

    It also happens on PC in gamepad mode.

    Decon one thing then the list randomizes again.

    I had this same issue Pre-Morrowind and it has now returned. Sometimes the items that can be researched, blend in with items I've already researched. It makes deconstructing a real pain.

    I can confirm this is on xb1 instead of the item under being next to decon it jumps all over the place seems almost random. Now I make sure to go very slowly and wait and not just spam the button to deconstruct.

    I think it happens occasionally when selling items to vendors too.

    I had to look to make sure that wasn't me who posted this...
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Glad to see it's not just me. It would be nice to get official word to see if this is intended.

    i've been waiting for someone to bring this up. before CWC (on XB/NA) for me it would always randomize after each decon, but still keep them alphabetical. so though it looked like my cursor would next fall on sturdy Gloves of Necropotence it would then randomize and maybe be on a divines pair of Gloves of Necropotence. i got the hang of going slow and paying attention to each item.

    since CWC though the entire decon list below the ornates will scramble irrespective of alphabetization, so i might decon an Ancestor Silk Hat, then find Werewolf Hide boots next on the list. that seems to be the problem. and since the entire list scrambles, i can no longer just attentively work top-to-bottom; once i get to the bottom i have to start at the top again (6 or 7 times at the Clothier) just to be sure i'm not wasting inventory space.

    i hate to sound like a baby, but it is literally the difference between getting a headache or not. i'm usually pretty patient, but i dread the tedium of decon now. i was reluctant to complain because i wanted to like all the other menu changes so much, but i'm not sure the change was worth it.

    if we just reinstate the alphabetization, but keep the new menu functions prioritized first, it would fix at least my problem. and hey, while you're in there, maybe add new funtionality to also arrange by color/quality, then trait? i'd be thrilled
