>                 Key: NEWTAG-5
>                 URL: http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/NEWTAG-5
>             Project: New Tag
>          Issue Type: New Token
>          Components: LST Tag
>    Affects Versions: 5.17.1, 5.17.2
>            Reporter: Andrew Maitland
>            Assignee: Eric C. Smith
>             Fix For: 5.17.4 (Alpha)
>
>   Original Estimate: 6 hours
>  Remaining Estimate: 6 hours
>
> Summary of Proposal:
> A new Method to Sort items (abilities, equip, etc.) in an order instead of the NAME or OUTPUTNAME using the Alphabetical method
> Add a new text value - SORTKEY
> SORTKEY:x
> x = Text or Numerical Value
> Sorts in the order of 0-9, A-Z
> When sorting lists of objects, PCGen would use, SORTKEY, OUTPUTNAME or Name in that order to determine what to sort on and then it would order by the values, being a text field you can do whatever fancy grouping you like without pcgen having to interpret it.
> Example of Usage
> Enlarge Spell  <>  SORTKEY:Metamagic~Enlarge Spell
> Quicken Spell <>  SORTKEY:11-MetaMagic~Quicken Spell
> Early Feat        <> SORTKEY:Z-Me last
> Would Display as
> Quicken Spell
> Enlarge Spell
> Early Feat
> Order of Operation - SORTKEY, OUTPUTNAME, NAME
