[Oatboat]

Download the lastet Grid.

Edit the GridLayoutlayouts in the Grid folder

at the bottom of the file add the following. Where my character names are... add yours instead.

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["Custom"], {
defaults = {
-- nameList = "Anona,Anonb,Anonc,Anond,Handyl,Shambyl,Brambyl,Gr endyl,Berrt,Erniee,Oscaar,Elmmo,Hannsal,Gretal,Jaa ckk,Jjill",
-- groupFilter = "",
-- sortMethod = "NAME"
-- sortDir = "ASC"
-- strictFiltering = true,
-- unitsPerColumn = 5, -- treated specifically to do the right thing when available
-- maxColumns = 5, -- mandatory if unitsPerColumn is set, or defaults to 1
-- isPetGroup = true, -- special case, not part of the Header API
},
[1] = {
showParty = false,
showRaid = true,
sortMethod = "NAME",
nameList = "Anona,Anonb,Anonc,Anond,Handyl,Shambyl,Brambyl,Gr endyl,Berrt,Erniee,Oscaar,Elmmo,Hannsal,Gretal,Jaa ckk,Jjill",
strictFiltering = true,
},
})

If I'm reading this correctly, it will show five units per column, with a maximum of five columns.

Does this show any combination of the toons listed, in an alphabetical order?
Or will it display all of the names, if you 10-box with these toons?
If you're in a 25-man raid, will it show the other toons controlled by the other players, or just the toons mentioned in the nameList?

[Oatboat]

yes pretty much or you coud add the line

groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5",

picking which groups you wanted

[Oatboat]

The way i have it setup... it will only show names in the namelist in the raid

you can totally customize it to do what you want with a little playing around...

Just toggle some variables then save it. then reloadui to test it

[Oatboat]

*by the way the -- lines are just suggestions on things you can use... the actually values are changed in the section under [1]

Ideally, I'd like Grid to display my five toons, in column one.

And to show the rest of the raid in columns two through five.
But to only display as many columns/frames as the number of toons in the party/raid.

Is there any way to keep your toons in same order as you have them in nameList ? (i.e. not sorted by index or name). This was possible pre-patch with GridCustomLayouts, but i can't figure out how to make it work now.

[Oatboat]

its the
sortMethod = NAME

[Nolife]

its the
sortMethod = NAME

This sorts names in aphabetical order and that is not what i want. I want my toons to be sorted in the same order as i have them listed in nameList array (those that are online).

My five chars in column 1 (in the order I choose), rest of raid in columns 2-5. Someone please write this!!1!
