== Content ==
			
Carbine, lemme start out by saying i'm OCD. I'm also an Alt-o-holic.
combine these, and you get my annoyance at the lack of options to actually support alts in an organised fashion.
now that i've aired my personal problems, i'm BEGGING YOU to listen to this.
 
Let me arrange the char selection menu.
 
My plan was for 6 characters, one of each profession and class. I like to craft things for myself. I'm independant, but dependant on my multiple selves.
What i Wanted to do, was post my chars in the order i play them (frequency) and this just so happened to be a very organised manner.
 
so when i server transferred, i transferred one character at a time, so they would be sorted how i wanted.
first 2 went fine, yay my esper and SS are over
 
then... my stalker.
for some reason, of which i have no CLUE, the game decided to put him in slot 2 INSTEAD of slot 3
wut. WHY?!?!?!?!?
 
edit: in case people ask
in my other server, my stalker was slot 3, so slots carrying over doesn't seem likely
and my esper was slot2 and my SS was slot 4, which are now slot 1 and slot 3 respectively, (ss was slot 2 before my derpy stalker took it)
 
the game gives no reason as to why he's in slot 2.
he's lower lvl, he's alphabetacally behind my other 2... it just doesnt make sense
 
i still have one more character to go, when i transfer, will he suddenly decide he wants slot 1? even though he's played the least? and lowest lvl?
i'm so confused.
 
i went out of my way to create order in a system with no order.
i waited 24 hours for each transfer, just to ensure it wouldnt mess up.. but it did.
as far as i know, there is no option to order in the selection menu... which is dumb
i know its a small thing but this is bugging me in such a way that I WANT TO DELETE MY STALKER so get he gets out of that slot.
 
please stop me from killing my stalker

			I actually would love to be able to sort my characters too.	
----
			
bump for character selection sorting!
the petition starts now	
----
			
I was ok with no sorting option before the server merge - they were in the wrong order after some headstart server craziness, but I could live with it as there's only 6. However, after the server merge I assume it's either going to dump all my Ascendancy/Archon characters first on the list, or order them alphabetically by name; some way to sort them after the merge (other than deleting them) seems necessary.
 
Or they could always run with the cop-out of last character played always goes to the top of the character list.	
----
			
i dont like the last played char to top of list thing.
cuz then it affects my logging	
----
			
Totally down with this idea.  I would like control over my character list.
 
WoW has it! :P *think "simpson's did it" from southpark* ;)
 
This is going to be needed if they are really going to allow us to have more than 12 characters per mega server after the merger ( not that we will be able to create more than twelve after implementation but, some of us altoholics play across 4 or more servers now as it is ... and have 24 or more characters ... which supposedly won't be lost).	
----
			This is one of those weird things that bugs me 2 xD I would love to see this at some point :D

This is irritating to not be able to rearrange my characters
 
I can do it in WoW.
If there's one thing I never understand about the copy pasta from WoW games is why other games didnt copycat the simple quality of life options.
 
Please Carbine.

It's not hard to add, its been done before, and it's useful.

bump for carbine late night notice
COMEON! i really want this simple thing	
----
			
+1
 
I really would like this feature aswell.	
----
			
BUMP!
because i logged in and sighed when i saw my character selection screen	
----
			Supporting this.I created bunch of characters and when I wanted to remake some of them I had to get nearly all remade as well so that they were in the right order. They hadn't left the beginning of the tutorial, luckily, and didn't before I was perfectly happy with them.And now with all characters being thrown in one list... I wonder how random that will be.	
----
			
yeah, atm i have my last char from bloodsworn transfering, and it scares me that i have no control over which slot he takes and WHY.
mostly the WHY... i have no clue how they are sorted.
 
with my luck, he'll take my first slot even though he's my least played	
----
			
update: my last character shot over today
 
annnnnd he's first slot... sigh
WHY, i tried to arrange by transferring one at a time, but nope, denied.
now my least played sits on top of my most played, taunting me with his uselessness to me	
----
			shameless 4am bump, i'd really like to see this in a patch in the near future	
----
			anyone else? petition with me!	
----
			saturday night BUMP	
----
			If they're listening then they'll probably speak about it on their twitch channel or ptr notes. Other than that I think not many are interested due to this still being on the first page, plus no one has replied except me after your fifth post.	
----
			Yes please. This will be much desired especially when megaservers hit!

Once we end up with the merged characters I would also like a way to sort them out. Or at least for someone to explain what would be the mechanics behind the merge and how that would arrange our characters (alphabetically, by level, randomly, last logging etc)
 
What if there was a default system sorting rule by date of creation (like it is now, but also applied after the merge?)	
----
			
i seriously doubt people arent interested. it's just such a small thing, you really cant get excited about it
but its something we should have already, its very easy and its just asthetic and not game affecting at ALL

			Pretty please, with sugar on top! I'd love to be able to change the order, because I sometimes change my mind about how I want them ordered. Sometimes,it's alpha, sometimes it's by level, sometimes by crafting class, sometimes by race...

{| class="blockquote"
see i thought that too, but when i made my SS on bloodsworn, she got slot 2, and she's my NEWEST char
but then i move her to pergo with everyone else, and now she's slot 4... o_O

			sunday bump

No brainer.

			monday morning bump

			Although I personally wouldn't use it, I support any suggestion that lets others enjoy the game more without affecting anyone else's game play..... so +1 from me.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yes please. This will be much desired especially when megaservers hit!
----
			Even though it's not something that I need (I only have 2 characters and don't plan on making more for awhile), I support this for those who want it.	
----
			
Sure, I'll support this!
 
Pretty sure someone higher up saw this already though with all the bumps..	
----
			i waited a week, so time to bump again	
----
			
Although i feel this isn't exactly the most vital issue with the game, if there is spare time I see no reason to not include this.
(unless it's some form of assistance to bot programs or it opens up an exploit) 
 
My suggestion to OP is take a look, or request an Addon developer to see if it can't be done through the API's or through some ini file or whatnot. Also check the live streams of Wildstar and try and get your question answered there too.	
----
			With the pending megaservers and expansion to 12 characters ( or more if you have them ... ) this feature would be nice to have as a Carbine supported feature instead of an add on.	
----
			
Would indeed appreciate this feature!
+1	
----
			
bumping this due to other threads being started that are exactly this
lets consolidate here if we can

Any news on this?
