If you are improving our inventory system, hopefully you can improve our SORTING AND SEARCHING capabilities as well.
BVG knows ppl have huge inventories yet fail to realize we need a USER- CONTROLLED sorting system (which uses Comparison-based algorithms hopefully) to help navigate our inventories.
When in decorating mode especially, an ability to sort by alphabetical, theme, colour, amounts, year, newest/oldest would be an amazing improvement. Currently, our inventory has absolutely no organization at all...not even alphabetical. It is one of the reasons so much of our time is wasted searching for an item.
I use Auto CAD programs for designing rooms in RL and user-controlled sorting is standard (and vital) due to the massive product inventories the program must contain.
It would also be nice to be able to control how our inventory is displayed (arrays, lists, trees etc) but I know that is just wishful thinking!)
Please expand your search program to include CONCEPT searching that allows for misspelled words and variations of the root search word (chair vs chairs) when searching. (CHAIRS=0 results)
Expecting us to know the correct spelling of items is unrealistic.
Also, it is very annoying to do a search for TREE and get results of anything that has the word STREET in it....
Both suggestions listed above would do nothing but improve the game, allowing us to easily search and sort our inventories. Sometimes it's not just about speed, but efficiency, when it comes to dealing with huge inventories. I hope this is given serious consideration.
Thank you
