Adventurer's Journal display order

[mwillard]

Is there any way to change the order entries appear in the Adventurer's Journal? Changing game date and real date doesn't appear to affect it and I can find no other way to do so.

I want to be able to do this as well. I just realised I hadn't entered in a chronicle sheet for last year and now its at the top.

+1, Yes, adding an option to be able to sort by Real Date (Increasing/Decreasing) and being able to manually change the order of each will be absolutely more useful. I've deleted and created again two different characters, just so I can get the journal in correct order.

This might be doable, let me see what is what.

Thanks for looking out for us Aaron =)

Erm, well unfortunately the tidings I bear are bad. Turns out the order journals appear in is something defined in the core program, which has thwarted all my attempts to make them into a thing which can be dragged to reorder. I can't work in the core, only my boss can, and he is too busy to get to this for the forseeable future. Sorry guys, looks like this will have to wait.

Sounds like a job for an external Python script! Just edit the xml directly and reorder by either game date or actual date, user's choice. This is something I'd like to have too, so I'll see about getting it done sooner instead of later... (I already have other scripts that manipulate the XML, so this shouldn't be too much work.)

Any update on this?

[Azhrei]

I’ll take a look at the Python approach over the holiday break and post some status on Monday or Tuesday...

No update on our side, unfortunately.
