He never said that they had given up on manual sorting, he just said that it wasn't going in at this time. I am sorry you are having a hard time figuring out how to make the new vault work for you, maybe when you actually see the improvements you will have more of an open mind instead of insisting that it must work exactly as you want it to or it's broke.
Maybe YOU should have an open mind and think before you call someone close-minded. I am responding to ransroth's posts regarding the possibility of manual sorting and letting him know that it is still an important issue for me. If you had read my post, you'd see that I said I was looking forward to the improvements that are forthcoming, and I commended him on the work he's already done to this point to make it as usable as it is.

I have tried having an open mind since the first version of the vault appeared in BETA, and it just doesn't work for me. Is it a deal-breaker? No. Will I stop playing? No, but I have found that I am not playing as much as I have in the past. I don't know if it is specifically in relation to the vault changes, but the vault changes don't help.

I've said several times that the old vault wasn't broke, and now for me, and lots of other people, it isn't necessarily broke, but the lost functionality is a huge step backwards.

I am against adding more and more filters and searches and automatic sorting in an effort to not to do manual sorting. That's throwing dev time and money at a problem they'll never quite fix. If they want to add more filters and searches and automatic sorting, fine, good for you and the people who use them. For me they're inelegant, slow down the process of using the vault, and unnecessarily complex. I need manual sorting for my optimum enjoyment of the game.

Is it selfish? Yes. Do I care about other people's views of the vault? No. Do I care if you like this version? Not really. I want my functionality back. If they can make it so you can have your frilly little filters and automatic sorting, fine, as long as I don't have to use them.
