Grid

[Shania]

Im such an idiot lol, can we delete the embarassing thread ? :P

Again thank you, all kindly.
A simple alphabetical sort:

sortMethod=name

is what I went with for now

If you plan on doing battlegrounds or raids...
I'd go with an actual grid, rather than a straight alphabetical sort.

The sort you have, will get you either a single row or a single column.
Which won't work all that well, when you have 25 or 40 players in the raid.

Umm, I set on each window in grid sortMethod=name but on the 5th window slot, my priests window, its not same order as it is on the other 4 windows.

Why could that be ?

And yes I do plan too BG as I did it alot before hand and enjoyed it immensley on the mages.

Try:
order=NAME;

This should be an alphabetical sort, across all windows.
I haven't used a straight alphabetical sort in a while, but this is the correct format.



I'll recommend the custom layout, with more control:
ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE,ToonF,Etc;NAME
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;5/8;NAME;NR

List all of your toons, across all teams, on line one.
Separate each with a comma, no spaces anywhere.
End in semi-colon and in caps NAME.
This is column one, because it is line one of our custom layout.
I have thirty-seven names on this line, but because I five-box no more than five will be on at once.

Line two specifies including toons who are in groups 1-8.
Which covers solo play, party play, 10-man's, 15-man's, 25-man's and the 40-man raids.
The 5/8, tells Grid to display five rows deep and eight columns across; ie, you have a Grid instead of a rather long row or column, as the straight alphabetical sort would get you.
The semi-colon and in caps NAME, also sorts everything alphabetically.
Finally the NR stands for No Repeating; meaning since your toons are already displayed in the first column, they will not also appear in the subsequent columns/rows.

My custom layout does not display Pets.
There was a modification for displaying Pets, but the addon author has disabled comments for the addon, so unfortunately I'm not sure what the command for pets is.

Thank You Ualaa, that worked and your explanation above was well written, easy to comprehend, now to finish too 85 almost there, then onto healing stuff, cheers
