Filters

[Ralphey at mtgmelb.com]

There are 4 quantity headings in the Inventory: Owned, Excess, Acquire, and
Target.

There are 4 Filter Criteria (I think) based on quantity: Inventory Excess,
Left, Owned, and Wanted.

Obviously Owned and Excess correlate, but what are Inventory Left and
Wanted? How do I filter by Acquire or Target?

How do I sort blank fields to the top, eg I want to sort by Type and
Subtype (B5), but I want generic (blank) Groups to appear ahead of named
(Species) Groups?

The "Inventory Wanted" *IS* the Acquire value. Sorry for the confusion.

There is no way to filter on the target number at the present time. We
couldn't think of a reason to add it, and the target number is not tracked
like other inventory values, so it's not easily filterable. Consequently,
we just omitted it. It this something you would actually find useful?

This is controlled by the data file author's specifications within the
definition file. Each group of tags has a sort sequence specified, and that
sequence then uses the appropriate values of the tags to sort upon. If you
want to change this yourself, you'll need to modify the definition file
accordingly. If you want it changed in the released files, you'll need to
petition the data file author to make the change. You can contact the
author via the option on the Help menu when the game system is loaded.

Hope this helps,
Rob

Ooops. As I hit "Send", I realized that I forgot to answer one last part of
this question. The "Inventory Left" value is the number of cards unused
from your inventory within the current deck being constructed. This value
is quite useful during deck construction when you want to monitor your deck
vis-a-vis the cards you actually own. However, it's pretty much useless
within the inventory manager.

Thanks, Rob
