TL;DR

Ability to filter the Armor Slot

What ?

I would like to be able to filter the armor slot so only the filtered type goes in the slot.

Why ?

1) Mostly this is useful in some of the comfy/redmew scenario games (like cave miner, dungeon floors, etc...) but you end up picking up lots of different random armors from the ground or loot boxes and usually they're lower tier than the armor you're using, so it'd be nice if I could filter the armor slot so only the armor I set goes in there. Picking up a dead body usually results in the first piece of armor (by sort type) going in the slot which is usually the lowest tier.

2) consistency with all the other character/quickbar slots.
