Is there a reason that Card Vault uses the old-school color order
(BUGRW) as opposed to the new one (WUBRG)? Even better, is there a way to change it? ------------------------ Yahoo!

I'm assuming you are referreing to the Magic datafiles. It is sorting alphabetically on the color word. A hidden tag will have to be added to every card. define White as 1, Blue as 2, black as 3, red as 4, green as 5, gold as 6, artifact as 7, land as 8. each card will have one of these tags. then define a sort set in the .def file to sort on this hidden tag.

I'll forward this to the author of the magic files; hopefully he'll take this into account when he does the update for 8th edition. Currently the sequencing in the definition file is: <value id="black" name="Black" order="0"/> <value id="blue" name="Blue" order="1"/> <value id="green" name="Green" order="2"/> <value id="red" name="Red" order="3"/> <value id="white" name="White" order="4"/> <value id="gold" name="Gold" order="5"/> <value id="none" name="None" order="6"/> <value id="other" name="Other" order="7"/> If you want to change it before them, just edit the 'magic.def' file and change the values for the order appropriately. -- Colen McAlister (colen@wolflair.com) Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com ------------------------ Yahoo!

I spoke with Robert (the author) about this and he said he would change it.
I'm assuming the new V1.8 files include the change. According to Robert, he's been playing Magic since 1995 and old habits (i.e. the old sequence) die hard. :-) -Rob At 06:41 PM 8/1/2003 +0000, you wrote: >Is there a reason that Card Vault uses the old-school color order >(BUGRW) as opposed to the new one (WUBRG)?
