Bug: Sort doesn't...

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 1:08 pm

Currently when looking at the dweller menu, if you select the sort option, it sorts based on room. This means you have to go down past one stat type before you can see the next one.



What should happen, is when you click on sort, you should see ALL of the Stat at Maximum Level's towards the top or at least bunched together.



Secondly, a second click on a column sort should sort it in reverse. This doesn't seem to exist at all.



Some serious quality control seems to have been skipped over in the process of rushing the application out to the platform.

Which sort option? (This makes me wonder if it's different on phones versus tablets, or something.)



If you tap SPECIAL it cycles you through the different attributes on each subsequent tap. The resulting list is sorted purely by that stat. It only groups by room if you tab JOB (which makes sense). The STATUS sort is borked. It looks like it's doing an alphabetical sort.



That said, the attribute sort is done by modified value. There's no option to sort by the value without outfit bonuses.



I'm with you on the reverse sort. Most of the time, I want to see who has the lowest value, not the highest.



There are a lot of simple things, whether bugs or usability tweaks, that are obvious after minimal gameplay. They definitely shipped too soon. What surprises me is that they haven't been pushing out little fixes as soon as they fix them. That's the beauty of the app store distribution model. My guess is that it's outsourced, adding overhead to the whole process.

When you click on a column header it performs a sort function. The special column doesn't do the reverse, it just does it by modified value.

Status does the partial sort based on location (and then room) instead of by actual number. I expect to see everyone with Statistic that has reached maximum to be clumped together instead of having to go through all the S, then the P, then E...

There is so much to be desired with the app. They should have waited until it had actually been beta tested thoroughly before release. Hopefully the Apple app doesn't have these "neglected" features....
