Bug Description:
Custom Inventory Sorting is no longer persistent - since the inventory system re-vamp. Previously, it was possible to sort our inventory as we want it, with certain key items in specific slots at the top of the inventory for easy quick access. We could then switch to another sorting mode (eg heaviest first) to quickly find the heaviest items in our inventory to offload them, and then return to custom sorting and have all the items in their correct places. Now if we switch to another sorting and then try to go back, all items are left in the order they were put into by the other sorting method. This is especially inconvenient when on a long ‘adventuring’ run, our inventory gets filled up with a wide variety of loot and we need to offload some to a follower or mount’s inventory. Previously, we could quickly change to ‘heaviest first’, offload the heaviest items, then switch back to our prefered layout. Now we either have to spend considerable time manually searching through the inventory, checking each item - is this golem part heavy? is this piece of armour heavy? what about this lamp? are 28 hyena pelts heavier or am I better off shifting these 53 lotus flowers? etc etc. Or we can sort by weight, but then we have to spend a whole extra bunch of time setting our inventory back the way we want it, so that the ‘quick use items’, such as bandages, sand-storm mask, torch, specific tools etc, can all be found quickly when they are needed. This is a major QoL detriment.
Bug Reproduction:
Play the game, rather than merely testing. This sort of QoL element rapidly becomes an irritation. It comes up multiple times in almost every play session, and is an extreme irritation - especially since we had a working system, but it was removed, to make the system that much worse.
