Market Sort by Meta

Distinguishing the meta level of modules needs to be easier. Instead of sorting market items purely by alphabet, they should instead be sorted by meta level.

To make it even more usable the sorting should be.

Base
Tech II
Meta (in order)

Also for modules that have multiple types (ie 100MN AF vs 10MN AF), they should be split into multiple sections.

All this will help to clean up and better organize the marketplace, which sometimes requires a lot of scrolling and clicking through show-info to find the module I'm looking for.

All warfare is based on deception and logistics. Battles and soldiers are secondary priorities.

No. when listed, meta should appear after the tech 1 and tech 2 variants, and they should be listed in order of meta level.

Things like Battleship afterburners and frigate afterburners should be in their own subgroups.

I agree that meta's should be easier to spot, without having to memorize all the names of every type of module. (maybe a tiny number in the top right of the thumbnail of the module).

another option that i would accept is moving the meta lvl in the attributes window to the top of the list. so that it is very easy to find with "show info".
Or even better would be to move the meta lvl into the description page so you know its lvl without even having to open the info when searching the market...
