Silly question, is there any way to tell the system to not try to sort a table at all? Right now, I have Specialties that accept a typed-in value (Specifically, the case I'm staring at right now are the Xenobiology specialties where you can specify which world). If I start typing in one, and the value I type causes it to change location, I instead find myself typing in the field which gets sorted into that location. So, for example, if I had the following:

Quote:
World: [blank]
World: [blank]
and I start typing into the first one, "Earth", but pause a second before typing the last "h" because my wife is asking me a question, I'll get the following

Quote:
World: h
World: Eart
I've been fiddling with different sortsets, but to little avail. The 4E code seems to handle this for their custom feats with a sort like the following:

Code:
<sortset
  id="Feats"
  name="Feats by Tier">
  <sortkey isfield="no" id="Tier"/>
  <sortkey isfield="no" id="_Name_"/>
  </sortset>
FWIW, I've tried are sorting by "thingname" instead (to just get the "World" part of it), but it still seems to sort by the domain as well.
