BuzuBuzu Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I've been experiencing an issue with sorting soldiers by name on the Barracks screen. I've renamed my soldiers to better reflect the squads they're in (ie Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Bravo 1, Bravo 2) but I can't get them to be sorted alphabetically by name (all the Alphas first, followed by all the Bravos and so on). Could it be that the soldiers' original names persist somewhere after renaming and that they're still being sorted using those names and not the new ones I've given them?

Irishguy117 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I believe the game sorts soldiers by seniority I.E. Number 1 will be a commander and number 12 will be a private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzuBuzu Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 You can sort soldiers by all the column headings (Rank, Name, TUs, Role, etc.). That's how I figure out who is best for scouting (sort by high TUs), or sniping (sort by high ACC). It all works great except after renaming my soldiers, when you click on the name column to sort by that, it doesn't do it alphabetically like expected.

thixotrop Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Something similar happend in V20 and Giovanni fixed that, see here. Do you made unintentional spaces before the names? If not, maybe the bug is there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzuBuzu Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 I renamed my soldiers again last night, making sure that there are no spaces before their names, but the sorting is still out of whack. Maybe that bug didn't get fully sorted out in V20 after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinHann Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Out of curiosity does the dude from your avatar make an appearance as a portrait in your squad? Your HMG guy probably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzuBuzu Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 No, my heavy looks like a Canadian lumberjack. That would be a really strange coincidence if it did but I didn't give enough money during the Kickstarter phase to get my portrait in the game, and even if I did I'd have had them use my actual picture instead of that funny mugshot I found online which I use for my avatar.

KevinHann Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 D'oh, I'd be amused to see a South Korean looking this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
