Guild Wars 2

I’m really liking the changes to the way the wardrobe works, my only issue is that there doesn’t seem to be any logical order that the items are sorted into.

Unless I have missed it somewhere in the settings, is there any way we can sort the wardrobe alphabetically, thereby making it easier to find items of the same set?

It is alphabetical, left to right, top to bottom. So Zodiac skins will always be the pretty last one for example.

Can you show a screenshot of where you think it doesn’t make sense?

I am referring to the wardrobe on the Character screen, used for transmutation, not the wardrobe accessed by the banker.
Whenever I want to transmute I need to hover over every piece until I find the right one, some pieces are easily identifiable by their look, others are not.

Should be the same. Difference is you might not have every complete set unlocked. So the “T” chest will be lower down if you have more chests unlocked than your “T” glove which you only have half of (amount vs chests in this example) unlocked and most of them in the “U-Z” range.

I agree that the layout and ordering options are not ideal (many others have posted a similar request to yours since its release), but at least they included the search box so we can manually enter an armor skin’s name to limit it to only displaying all pieces of a specific set.

Where ordering is illogical and far from ideal for me is in the ordering of the weapon sections for each weapon type as well as the ‘Jump To’ drop-down boxes for the different weapon types. The sections (and drop-down listing) should be listed alphabetically, not in the seemingly random order they currently are. (image)

Have you checked if it prioritizes the weapons your character can use?

Mentioning the search field is great, I always forget about that and hardly ever use it.

It does not seem to take the class into account when viewing it as it is in this same order regardless of what class views the weapon section.

That screenshot was of it being accessed by a ranger, so I would expect warhorn to be listed before focus (offhand section) and longbow to be listed before hammer (all types section) if it were prioritizing weapons my class could equip. :\
That would be a nice option to be able to tick for display order though.

Makes no sense then (to me), too bad.

Ah, regarding the Hero Panel wardrobe section, I see what you are describing.

The Hero Panel Wardrobe listings are displayed in the order in which they were unlocked by your account and not alphabetically as seen in the bank wardrobe. It is quite odd that it is in this order instead of alphabetically and that alphabetically is not even an option for order.

In my listings, Adventurer’s Spectacles was the last medium skin I unlocked so it is last in my headgear listing. Viper’s Monocle in the middle, and my first one listed is Rawhide Mask. Bizarre decision for ordering. (image)

It would be nice if the alphabetical listing of armor skins seen in the bank wardrobe were extended to the Hero Panel’s listings as well.

Haha, too funny. Thanks for the screenshots.

:D I’m a very visual-based learning kind of person and I am usually horrible at explaining things well so I try to include images/video whenever possible.

Images also convey so much more information to others than many words sometimes can.
Hmm, someone should coin that phrase. :P

Yup, this is what I was referring to. Finding a nice set helm & then spending ages finding the corresponding slot pieces is rather time consuming.
