Boff Arrangement

Hey guys, I got a weird question..

Has anyone figured out what determines the order of BOFFs in the Status ("U" key) menu? I thought they were alphabetical, but then I went and took a boff into the tailor. Now they are most assuredly not alphabetical, and I can't really seem to determine what order they are in.

I even logged out and back in and they were in a different order!

Any ideas?

    Fairly certain it's order of recruitment but I could be wrong.

    Yeah, that would make sense, but the most recent Boff I got (the romulan liberated borg officer) is neither the first nor the last on the list. Shes in the middle, and not alphabetical.

    In the tailor, they appear in the order of recruitment. On your status screen, they appear with the BOffs you most recently took on an away mission first, then everyone else in alphabetical order. At some point in the recent past, the BOffs you had selected as department heads or slotted at stations on your ship also appeared at the top of the list, but for some reason that has been eliminated.

    They move around a bit if you assign them to a station or your away team ... so maybe the top ones are either in a bridge position or a ground squad and listed alphabetically then maybe recruit date or alphabetical after that?

    It's suppose to be alphabetical order, but there's a bug where when you beam down to zones such as the Voth battle zone, it's screws it up the order.

    BOFF's fall into an Alphabetical order when you name them accordingly. For example, the first letter of all your Science Officers could start with an S; your Engineering Officers names could start with an E; and your Tactical Officers names could start with a T.

    This is how I keep my Boff's in order. At times, such as when I change who I'm taking on an Away Mission, my boff's will fall out of order. But when I transition to another map, like a ground map after picking my Team, the boff list will once again become arranged in alphabetic order.
