Hello Patrons,

I've added some new functionality to the Improved Initiative Dev Preview.

This month I'm working on a better search and sort experience for your libraries. I'm consolidating a lot of code across all four Library panes, which will lead to a more consistent experience and enable other features like this one to be added more easily.

Clicking the Sort button by the Filter box will cycle through a set of groupings, allowing you to more easily browse and find appropriate statblocks for your encounter. I'll also be adding other groupings for the other tabs, such as Level and School for Spells. I'm not sure about good ways to group Characters other than by your user-defined folders, so I'd like your suggestions.

Thanks!

Characters by level/race/class?

Looks dope! For character sorting I think user created folders would be the most useful. If you run multiple campaigns you can keep the characters separate.

Crazy good addition.

This is so good! For character grouping - I usually have friendly (or even hositle) NPCs in the character tab rather than creatures, since its one person rather than a type of person. Grouping player characters vs PCs would be STELLAR

I absolutely love the sorting so far! I noticed that some of the foes I created were grouped in a folder under my campaign's name, (I'm not sure how that happened, since I hadn't tagged them, that I recall,) and a few others I'd created were loosely listed at the bottom, outside of folders. I tried slapping tags on them under Source, but that seemed to make no change as to where they were grouped, though one of them disappeared when I did that. (I found him by searching by name, so he wasn't deleted or anything. :D ) What means is used for tagging foes, and would it be/is it already possible to let us create our own folders or tag-groups?

The default view will organize by folder, and you can set a StatBlock or Character's folder on the StatBlock editor. I'm planning to add a library button just for renaming/moving StatBlocks and Characters so you won't have to open the editor every time. Let me know if you're able to consistently reproduce the other issue you described so I can figure out if there's a bug. Thanks Senjata!
