[2.0.28] Some things are ordered strangely in the GUI

Post by IsaacOscar »

Not sure if these count as a bug, but I've noticed a few issues with prototypes 'order' fields that you might want to fix:
  • Unlike everything else in factoriopedia, the ammo categories are listed in alphabetical order

    (this is because their prototypes have order = nil)
    However, all except Railgun and Tesla Gun ammo have a "bonus_gui_order" field, which orders them nicely in the bonuses screen:

  • Stomper pentapod shells are not ordered according to size, but are instead ordered alphabetically and mixed in with the "Big Volcanic Rock"

    This is because all of them are set with order = b[decorative]-l[rock]-f[big-volcanic-rock]
  • The plantable trees are grouped together with the naturally generated trees in Factoriopedia:

    But they aren't grouped like that in the deconstruction planner filters:

There are many other order issues that are evident from the lua data (prototypes with no 'order' set, prototypes whose order field is the same as another prototype's in the same group, and those whose [...] parts clash (e.g. (Tank) Cannon Shells have order 'd[cannon-shell]-a[basic]' whereas (Rocket Launcher) Rockets have 'd[rocket-launcher]-a[basic]')). These may be unintentional, but there's no clear "correct" order in most cases, so it doesn't really matter.

Also, there isn't a consistent order amongst things from different planets, but I feared that would be closed as 'not a bug', so I made a separate Idea & Suggestion thread for that (124852)
