Dear OR Team, my first complaint. This consist list change in Explore Route Details. Maybe let us choose which way we want it displayed? All my explore consists are named so that they appear at the top of the list, now they are lost in the shuffle. I know some may prefer to choose by Eng type and I may sometime, but, still a choice may be the best way to go. One list the previous way(whatever you call it .. alpha/numderical?) and the new way by Engine. Or perhaps by a third way by RR... CN, BNSF, DRGW, WP ----naw that's a little too complicated. Thoughts from anyone else? rhs

Let me too add a Suggestion pls: If you sort the explore consists list by locomotive, would it be possible to not sort it by the Name of the .NEG files, but by the Name stated wihtin the file on the line Name ("..." )? Would make a bit more sense, as those names mostly indicate a bit better what type of stock / loco you choose (especially for those like me how customize every Piece of rolling srock to in MSTS have a Name following a specific nomenclature "rulebook")

Let me add my voice to the "meh.." list here... Not pleased to have to sift thru .ENG file names to find a particular consist... I'd rather see it sorted by consist name.
Showing the locomotive isn't a bad thing, but I wouldn't want use that as the sort key.

The new menu has this covered anyway.
Thanks, I am always relectant to post because I suppose the OR Team is aware or has discussed most of these issues already .... has there been any discussion of adding a some sort of search function to the consist list, then any user could configure according to their search pref.....perhaps also have some sort of list for "explore" consists only. This is a wonderful project, thanks for your time and efforts ... a talented group of people! rhs

In V1636, the consists list is now split to two columns, you can sort them by Engine Name or Consist Name, by clicking the corresponding column header.

That's perfect Jijun! Would it be possible to do the same also for the paths? Now paths show origin-destination of path. It would be nice if also a second column with path name could be shown.

Whoopie .... I knew you guys were so far ahead I can just barely see your dust! Perfect. In another thread .... ALSO on my wish list is a "camera/views reset" .... often when using the mouse to alter some view it becomes easier to stop and resume to regain original viewing status .... a reset would be great.....again don't if that is achieveable, rhs" Has there been any discussion or thoughts on this.. for the future?? rhs

Oh my god, that's terrible.
Edit: To clarify, I think it's ugly, and will be entirely replaced soon, but it's just my personal opinion.
