What is suffix for?

[ThatOneMike]

How do you sort by prefix?

[Trelander]

On the search function bar at the top left above all the items in your world. The settings button has a menu option for Sorting by Prefix, and showing Prefix before terms.

Great, thanks!

I use prefix in connection with groups.

If I make an organisation, the different levels in the hierarchy would normally have names. I prefer having them listed with the top dog first and all the grunts at the bottom.

Prefixes does this for me.

Curious... What would be the purpose to suffix them that way? I can see retaining the NPC for back history, plot ties, etc. but I would simply flag their demise within the stat block, POR, or maybe even dates (born / Died)

I do this as well, but mainly as it relates to "subsets" so to speak. I might have a knightly order, but differing organizations within that.
unlike a boss/ grunt, it more akin to "Branches" within a department.
but that's just my 2cp

I use a tags for this to denote either 'alive' or 'dead'. That way I can filter out the dead if need be

I think there is a tag for that in the user profile, it would be very easy to filter on that instead of using the suffix

I was thinking the same thing
But not at a place to check
