+ThePetersTrio Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I notice that as I add icons to my account that they seem to be listed in random order. I wonder if there is any way to change the order that they appear of if anyone knows how the order is decided (it doesn't appear to be alphabetical to my eyes). And yes - I get obsessive/compulsive about these things sometimes. Actually I was hoping to have the icons listed in order of how I found them or came to own them just to have sort of a history. And it strikes me as something that would be easier to do now than months from now having to go back and re-order everything (if I can even do that). Thanks! Quote Link to comment
MotoCycleBoi Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) I think the icons are in chronological order. With oldest coins first. Edit: spelling Edited March 27, 2008 by MotoCycleBoi Quote Link to comment
+ThePetersTrio Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Huh - that makes sense when I look at my owned ones - but not when I look at my moved ones. But I could be wrong. Interesting. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+derschlings Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 yeah, I have heard that it had to do with when Groundspeak originally approved the coin for tracking, or maybe when the tracking codes were purchased, or perhaps when the icon was approved. Maybe one of TPTB can clue me in as I'm sounding rather clueless... Quote Link to comment
Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Owned trackables are listed by the icon number - so when Groundspeak assigns them. I've never paid attention to the moved/found site and it's order so let me go take a look at that. edit to add: Those look to be the same with a few exceptions like the Jeep TBs. If you right click the image you can see the image number in the source path of the image. They are numerical with an exception or two noted.

avroair Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The icons are in the order for which Groundspeak received them. So this doesn't necessarily mean that one coin is older than another because of the icon. But it does follow a general chronological order. Example: The German coin wasn't made before the Geowoodstock coin, but the tracking numbers were purchased well before the coin was finished so the Germany 2005 icon appears higher than the geowoodstock icon.

+ThePetersTrio Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Ok good to know. I guess this means I cannot re-order them. I guess I'll have to find another way to try to control my little world. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ok good to know. I guess this means I cannot re-order them. I guess I'll have to find another way to try to control my little world. Thanks for the info! I think you can change the order of your coin icons but only after you get hired on as a code geek at Groundspeak. Signal might just let you do that to your account on your own time and only during certain phases of the moon. Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ok good to know. I guess this means I cannot re-order them . . . Thanks for the info! Good question. I was pondering this same subject ! Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks for asking the question - it was interesting to find out about that. Quote Link to comment
