Heroclix listings

[rcross at sbcglobal.net]

I understand that it's important to have the figures clearly marked as
Rookie, Experienced, Veteran, and Unique, but it's causing--not problems,
but frustrations--when I'm working in the program or with lists I output.
Because of the nature of alphanumeric sorting, Experienced versions of
characters always come up ahead in the list from their rookies. And because
these are indicated in the name field: "Avalanche (E)" "Avalanche (R)", I
don't see a way to resort them. I want to have all the instances of one
character together (all the Shadowcats, all the Mr. Fantastics), but I would
find it easier, especially when recording my collection or comparing my
lists to Scrye prices, if they were in R/E/V/U order instead. Is there some
way to do this simply in the next releases (I've got clix from Marvel and DC
and will probably get at least some Indys as well)? Similar to the
reordering of the magic cards for WUBRG rather than the alphabetical BUGRW?

In the Available grid, you can make things sort into the correct order by
disabling "Library Sort" in the Settings menu. In the Team grid, use the up
and down buttons to move models around. This is the 'quick fix' to the
problem; however, this issue will be addressed in the next release of Card
Vault. Starting then, there will no longer be a need for the '(R)' at the
end of the model names.

Quick poll: For those of you who play Mage Knight / Mechwarrior / Heroclix,
would you prefer:

* Model names no longer having the (rank) suffix, and adding a small,
one-character 'Strength' column to the grid
* Keeping the (rank) suffix for clarity purposes?
