Default Sort "add hero" drop down menu

There are certain heroes I use a lot (Dunkoro, Gwen, Vekk...) and some that I rarely use. I wish I could sort the "add hero" drop-down menu so my more commonly used heroes appeared first.

If personalized sorting is not an option, at least give options like in the logon screen, to sort by name (alphabetize), profession, or in order acquired.

Anything would be better than the current order which seems completely random.



On a related note, it would be nice if the henchmen in the Party window were sorted by profession so you can better see what your choices are.

Or you could just become familiar with the order they're listed in. Once you've played for a while it's just reflex.

I wanted this function so bad when I first started, but all of my struggles went away after I started to use the Party Search [P] window.

If you only play with one character or every character has the same heroes.

I would support this since my non-main characters have some I just never use.

Been wanting this for a while. It'd be great if they could just be sorted alphabetically by primary profession, then by name. Start with Anton, end with Koss.

Honestly, I don't see why this wasn't done in the first place.

Oh, so you found some magical set of heroes that are different from the ones everyone else has?

I guess they didn't want to resort the heroes because they're already in a certain order.

I never use the dropdown list. It is slow and annoying to use.

I use the party search hero panel.

/notsigned just because the party search window is so much easier to use in general.

When they add the remaining heroes so that there are 3 of each profession to choose from, I hope they sort the Party Window hero selection, be it by profession, or alphabetical, or by frequency of use, or maybe even make it customizable.

I think he means secondary characters that don't have every hero unlocked yet. You go for Gwen and find Olias in her "place".

I guess I'll /sign because it'd be convenient to sort heroes by different qualities (most used, by profession, by name, custom), but in the meantime, the party window's not a bad alternative.

I also wanted this ages ago but now it's just not needed. Use the "Party Search" button and its alot easier.

If they did want to improve on this they should order them by profession.

I have several characters. Only my mesmer has most of the heroes that can be acquired. My others don't, so the drop down list is different. I thought that was clear and obvious.
