Talk:Is it possible to change the default sort order for this table?

https://ddowiki.com/page/Quests_by_level_and_XP

For this page here, the default sort order is by quest level only. The issue is that this doesnt group quests from the same pack together, which makes it a mess.

For example, by default it displays the level 1 quests first, but the first two quests are borderlands quests, followed by korthos quests, followed by more borderlands quests, followed by more korthos quests.

If I click "adventure pack" followed by "level", it will sort the table so that all the level 1 korthos quests are grouped together, followed by all the level 1 borderland quests, etc. Its much more readable and tidy.

Unfortunately, this isnt the default sort order so everytime I go to this page (such as when i close the browser), i have to sort it manually again.

Is it possible to make the table sort adventure pack + quest level by default? It would save everyone a LOT of time. &rArr; Question (Contribs • Message • Email ) 23:19, August 15, 2020 (EDT) &rArr; Question (Contribs • Message • Email ) 23:19, August 15, 2020 (EDT)
 * No, I don't think it's possible to have two initial criteria for sorting. However, clicking 2 times to sort the table as you like it is not a very serious problem. Aside from that, I want to ask you what exactly do you use the table for. What is the question you ask and what answer do you expect to get from this table? Let me tell you my usage for example: "My character is level 5. What are the level 3 quests so I can run them on reaper and how can I group them up by adventure pack?". I then go to Level 3 quests which are sorted by adventure pack by default. I see there are some free quests, Tangleroot, Catacombs, lost gatekeepers and shan-to-kor. Now from my experience, I know that except for lost gatekeepers the other packs contain quests at other levels as well. So I click on each adventure pack (Tangleroot Gorge, The Catacombs, The Seal of Shan-To-Kor) and see their quests (which are sorted by level by default). This allows me to do the lost gatekeepers quests first, then tangleroot up to level 7 because no reaper, then catacombs because only one lvl 4 quest, then shan-to-kor to level up. I'm asking that question in order to be able to make some page with tables to satisfy your usage. However, if that page already satisfies you, then I don't think clicking 2 sort options is important enough to create a new page. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 05:30, August 16, 2020 (EDT)
 * I use it to sort all quests by adventure pack/level. So for example if im looking at level 1 quests, i want it to show all the level 1 borderland quests together instead of a total mess where they are mixed up with level 1 korthos quests. Sorting 2 times by itself isnt a problem, but having to do it everytime the page is refreshed (such as when you close the browser) gets tiring quickly. Especially when you have to scroll all the way to the top of the page to sort it again. It would just be a huge QOL change if the table could put all the quests in the same pack together instead of in some random order. You can see that theres a massive difference in readability if you look at this screenshot : https://imgur.com/a/YbVKof5. I dont even understand how the default sort works, Why does it put Violent Delights at the top for example? &rArr; Question (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:28, August 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * Not all borderlands quests are level 1. And it gets trickier with Tangleroot that spans the levels 3-7. So you're not going to get all the quests from an adventure pack together. In which case, you may want to look into the pages Level 1 quests, Level 2 quests, etc. that are sorted by adventure pack. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:50, August 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * This actually can be done, although I'm not sure if the template is currently set up to allow it. If you go to each quest and add a   with a number of quest for the order of the chain and tell the DPL template to sort by name instead of by ML, theoretically it should sort by the order specified in the  .  If not, I'm sure  or myself can modify the DPL template to allow it to/make it work that way.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 19:43, August 18, 2020 (EDT)
