I'm not talking about sorting. I'm talking about having to scroll across various save games to find out which of them is (for example) the Felid I am currently experimenting with, or which is the one I've got stationed in the tutorial. (All my debugging chars are called test, test1, test2, etc.) As for sorting, as long as the order is static (so playing time is out), everything is okay. We are currently using experience level, with no distinction between different game modes. Changing the latter might make sense, but I've no idea which of Tutorial, Sprint, ZD or the main game should take precedence.
