Is there any way to revert to the old method of sorting by age? I can't express how much I dislike the new sort by last login change that was just enacted. At least give us an option to choose the sort method. If we could sort by age, level or last login, that would be awesome.

like, a system outside of the game to help managing what each character has to do or need, you know?
it becomes a need when you are handling so much information
things like Excel or Access do help a lot
and if people have a lot of time doing so many chars, it would be a good idea to dedicate time on doing that system
for example, what do I do is the following:
this is an access file, a database
since I'm focused on cosmics and gear, I keep scr gcr qnite vigilance
all that sorts of things
but I believe you can do this for roleplaying characters only, costume ideas, heck even pvp
what im trying to say is that there's ways to actually managing a ton of characters, no matter what you do or what they show you in the game, you just gotta be creative.
If someone has troubles in making a system that works for them, hit me up with a message and I could help you.
This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day

Ah yes, the old "do what I want or I won't spend money" tactic. I'm sure it'll work.

This whole setup here, is pretty awesome! I might consider doing something like this, so I can remember who burned their 3x cosmic rounds for that day already. For the sorting. I really do love that I can see all of my chars on the first page now, I have stopped ignoring the ones that got trapped on the second page, it's great.
*head pats* It's time to move on. I mean hey, you don't really have that many toons anyway, and they're all spread around multiple accounts, so this isn't really a big deal for you anyway.

Creating a spreadsheet to track something that was easy to do without one prior to this change is asinine, but it might be the only option. It's a bad change, and bad changes need to be called out by people until something gets done about them.
There is a big difference between this and STO. In STO it's not just the portrait that lets you pick them out of the list. It also has the name, level, and what STO has instead of character classes. Also, it's list form and doesn't use hexagons.
But, much of what I used the data sheets for was the things not part of the list. Such as what each character has collected.

My characters
Them not shuffling around didn't make it any easier to keep track of who had done what. In fact, before the change if I wanted to keep track of who had done what I was locked into doing things in a certain order. Now I can do them in any order and still know who did what by looking who's at the top of the list, definitely a breath of fresh air for someone who wants to play whatever whenever they feel like it.
What method were you using before to keep track of who had done what that depended on the static character order?

That works...until you need to log on one or more characters that have already done their things.
Left to right, top to bottom. Since characters didn't play musical hexagons, the only thing I really had to remember or track was who last did their things. Not hard at all to increment to the next one down the list.
Except that I was locked into that order because I used your method:
So you were in the exact same boat I was, so if I'm being silly then so are you. And now you're in the same new boat, meaning you can use the same method I do, which is "Pick any character to do the thing on next, and just look for where the first character you did it with is to know who has done it already". Simple, and just as much effort as the previous method since you only have to remember one character to remember your place. No drawbacks, only benefits.
Eh? Why would that change anything? They're still going to be in the same part of your character list after you log onto them, the portion that contains all the toons that have done the thing already. What you're talking about would only be an issue if suddenly the game decided to sort those characters in the opposite manner that it's sorting all the others, and as far as I know that's not a thing that happens.
Like imagine we have a bucket full of marbles (characters), and every time you touch a marble (do the thing) it becomes buoyant and floats to the top (gets sorted to the top of your first page). Touching a marble that's already floating wouldn't change how it's sorted, it's still going to be sorted with the floating marbles.
Maybe you meant "have to log onto characters that haven't done the thing", but even there the solution is simple: do the thing while you're logged in with those characters.
Can you elaborate further what you meant with this? It doesn't really seem to make sense as presented. Thanks.

Well, yes. I am specifically mentioning this for the people who may have left the game over this annoying issue. They can return now.
