There are a few items and potions I would like to have at the top of the item list rather than scroll through... similar to ordering talents... is this possible?

chesspupil - there is no ability to re-order that list. If you'd like to describe your sorting preferences, perhaps I could improve the sorting routine, but currently I like it as it is.

We might use a grid or something that can be sorted in future games. Depends on what priority our fans and backers make it.

May just be me but personally I love sortable list's, especially if they are likely to get long and be frequently accessed in a game.
Stacking is #1 for me, don't fill my inventory with 50 entries for same item. Then sorting gets close second. Guess making groups/categories of stuff would be 3rd.
These things are quality of life issues and inventory management by itself isn't likely to make or break a game by itself unless it's truly horrendous. But having a user friendly inventory management system can be the sort of little extra that takes a good game and makes it outstanding.

The game is designed with presumption that you never (ok, rarely) get more than two similar items. And I find current sorting well thought out.

Carrying sort order around in the saved game format is something you have to add early on in the binary file design. Looking back at the Heroes of Steel budget, it is amazing we even got stacking  |

Simply the same ability as talents... when a player gets a new ability it falls at the end of the list ...true?

Why not Apply the same to potion and scroll order...

... when we designed the game's saved format ... Game is 3 years old. Saved game format was designed three years ago. We're looking forward to improving in future games. |
