Grid Custom Layouts

Found a much better way to sort with Grid/GridCustomLayouts.

ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE,ToonF,ToonG,ToonH;NA ME
1,2,3,4,5;5/5;NAME;NR

This will display five groups across, and five names deep.
The first column will be comprised entirely of the Toon's you have listed, and is sorted alphabetically.
The remaining columns, is the rest of the party/raid/battleground.
No name is repeated (the NR), so if you list all your toons from all of your teams, they cannot appear in columns 2-5.

The 5/5 is five columns across and five spots deep.
You can modify that if you like.

The 1,2,3,4,5 refer to the number of groups which should be displayed.
If you were to run old world 40 man raids, you could change the second line to:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;8/5;NAME;NR

Thanks! This finally got my healbot issues sorted out with poor sorting of players.

I just dual box with my hunter and priest and prefer to use:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;8/5;NAME;NR
isPetGroup=true

ty o great ualaa

Hm. GridCustomLayouts broke on me--Now in a raid group (ie, all BG's) it shows everyone. Here's my layout:

Chernabog,Baalbog,Çhervà,Çhervá,Çhervâ,Çher vä,Chærvà,Chærvá,Chærvâ;Chærvä,Çhèrva,à ‡hérva,Çhêrva,Çhërva,sortMethod = "LIST"
n1;NOR
n2;NOR
n3;NOR
n4;NOR
n5;NOR
n6;NOR
n7;NOR
n8;NOR
n9;NOR
n10;NOR
n11;NOR
n12;NOR
n13;NOR
n14;NOR
n15;NOR

Nice work, this will be good for when i spec all my druids heals lol.

Great stuff as usual....

Is there a way to display a Fixed sort? For example, I would like the Tank to always be on top on all screens. The alphebetical sort works, but it's not quite what I am looking for.

Here are all the methods to sort by.

It looks like you can sort by Name or by Index.
Not sure what the difference is, but the author recommended (on Curse) to sort by Name, when I asked for a fixed sort order across multiple accounts.

You could easily amend my sorting to something like this:

Tank
DPS,DPS,DPS,Healer;NAME
1,2,3,4,5,6,7;7/5;NAME;NR

Might have to tweak it a little.
You'd know the syntax is working, when it displays the tank in column one.
The rest of your toons in column two.
And the rest of the raid in other columns.

Maybe an addon like MoveAnything would let you reposition frames.
Not sure if that would work with a specific Grid frame or not.
