Title: Ordering question...
Post by: ktistai228 on January 02, 2011, 03:58:57 am
Should ship ordering alphabetically on the wiki include the prefix? The GVx, GTx, Px, UTx, UEx.. stuff?
I mean should it be:
EAF Lethe
GTF Angel
Or should it be
GTF Angel
EAF Lethe
?

Maybe both (prefix then name), like this (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/User-made_Ships) ?

With class names, make it the former. The GTD Orion will be under "G" in the "Ships" category. The GTD Bastion will be under "B" in the Orion-class destroyers category, in which all members of the group are predictably under "G".

...in a completely different category, that is, NTF destroyers (NTD). Which would be the one after the GTD category.

You mean cutting a 14 ship list into 2, one of 10 and one of 4, and then ordering them alphabetically.
This idea works for the huge fricking lists like :http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/User-made_Ships (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/User-made_Ships)
But for what TopAce meant, http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/List_of_GTD_Orion-class_destroyers (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/List_of_GTD_Orion-class_destroyers) I really consider it to be OVERKILL!

I'd rather not organize by prefix.

That was my initial feeling too. That's why I asked...

Easy solution: You can set up the list so the users themselves can choose how to sort it. Look at the campaign list for how it's done if you don't know. Then just list the ships alphabetically by name and if anyone wants it sorted by prefix, class or whatever else, they can make that happen with a single mouse click.
