Much of Rescreatu is poorly organized, or poorly sorted. I hope V2 is better. Some of the things that should be organized better.

The code behind the pages, and database information should have OrderBy as part of page display.

The Drop-down list in the Trash Isthmus should be alphabetized like the Drop-down lists in the Cooking Basin. Finding something to discard is nearly impossible if you have much in inventory.

The Inventory should work more like the Merchant shop, where you choose the number of items, and then choose what to do with the items. It would be so much easier than individually selecting items, and would not take up as much space on a page. 

Removing items from Storage should be organized like the shop so that you can select how many of an item to remove, rather than individually selecting.

Adding things to Storage is even worse. You have to mouse over the item, and wait for the tooltip before you know if it is the item you really want to store (such as very similar pizzas in tiny images). This should be a selection option straight from inventory, rather than a separate page.

Shop items should be alphabetized, or organized by type, rather than the semi-random order that exists. 

I hope you understand what I'm trying to expain.

I wecome any comments and similar suggestions.

Coding will be fixed in V2. Trust me. lol.

The drop down list is a headache to sort through as of now, though if you click on it, then type in the item you're looking for, it'll show up, regardless of which computer you are using. =p

I love that third and forth ideas. It would really cut down on the page load time for users who have 982374 items in their inventory and storage. lol

There has been talk about this idea among staff, I believe we're working on something with this, but I can't say what it was exactly. lol.

 I'm not so sure about the last one, it would be nice to have, though it's not a very pressing matter. Maybe if we just had the items appear in the order where we placed them? I don't know any sites that have an organized shop item placement. Lots of them go with randomness and it's worked out fine. xP Ah well.

 

But those are my opinions. lol.

Most pages have better orginization with v2. The Reiflem Storage is completely redone. I know its extrememly annoying right now. Theres also a quick stock feature, and other features to make your jobs easier.
