What could possibly be the objection (apart from lazy programmers) for not fixing the incorrect ordering of the planets, moons, asteroid belts, customs offices in the overview?

Perhaps, I should add idiotic trolling as an objection. Otherwise, there is no legitimate reason why this error shouldn't be corrected.

Everyone knows the truly intelligent are never quite well based in their sanity. So either EVE is full of the biggest trolling 12 year olds, or it holds the likes of Tesla, Einstein, Plato, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, The Mittani, Tokugawa Ieyasu, or Confucius.


-5 points for this terrible grouping of people.

Stop adding useless comments. Support the OPs position or don't, don't name random characters you heard about on the Internet.

I'll be completely honest, in the two and a half years I've been playing, I never noticed this.

And now I'll never unsee it.

God. Damn. It.

think of it in terms of weapon scaling,
tiny little trivial things get under the guns and cant be tracked.
hens the "little things" initiative which could be considered to be ccp lunching drones .
definitely a contender for that list +1

Imagine you discover a new solar system.

You name the planets

Nesosy I
Nesosy II
Nesosy III
Nesosy IV
Nesosy V

After settlers arrive on Nesosy IV they rename it to "Home"
now its:

Nesosy I
Nesosy II
Nesosy III
Home
Nesosy V

Stupid idea to sort planets by name
on the other hand its already a stupid idea to show navigation targets and weapon targets in the same column
the problem is placed much deeper in design


In EVE nomenclature that planet would be named "Nesosy IV (Home)".

Seriously, how hard can it be to create a separate hard-coded listing order for the celestials based on the roman numerals from I to XX?


You really don't want to do it that way.

A better option is to have the overview sorting by the hidden details (i.e.: planetary orbit then moon orbit then alphabetical by object name), then displaying using the object name.

Adding "hard coded" lists means there is more data to download (and maintain), which will lead to bizarre errors in the future.

Sort your overview by distance like a normal human being. Problem solved.

Yes, but ... you can't name the planets yourself in Eve, so that's a non-issue.

The second part of your comment however is gold. So, "Liked".

Clearly, something as basic and idiotic as this programming 101 problem has baffled the great minds at CCP.
Do you feel like enlightening us mere mortals as to the simplicity and ease with which you have solved this problem? Perhaps some pseudocode, or a diagram? Do you have an idea for a solution, or did you just feel like complaining?

It's a legitimate usability issue, it's very minor, it's not making the game unplayable, it should be fixed. I think you have a good idea here, you just forgot to type it out.

Do YOU like to undock?
