+Bigmada Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Any chance in the future will we be able to customize the order of our souvenirs? Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My other 2/3rds would like to see this too. Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 PLEASE! The Souvenirs page looks like a dog's breakfast. Please let us organize the order. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 A lot would be improved if the US state souvenirs can be clumped together - perhaps by prefixing every state name with "US - "? Same thing for the other regions. Ability to arrange is nice, but not easy to implement and most people probably won't bother. Maybe a hidden and internal sort order field so that related souvenirs are clumped together, instead of sorting by souvenir display name? Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Maybe get the SearchForSouvenirsByPublicGuid API to pay attention to the hidden attribute on souvenirs on the personal profile page. Quote Link to comment

Group by type first (region based souvenirs, event based, date based) then sort by name or acquired date. Quote Link to comment

Yes, changing the names to be more meaningfull would help, but I still would like to be able to arange them myself. All US states start with "US - ", all Canadian Provinces start with "CAN - ", all international geocaching day souveniers start with "International Geocaching Day - ". These sorts of name changes would have a huge benefit, and would be very easy to implement. Quote Link to comment

These sorts of name changes would have a huge benefit, and would be very easy to implement. I still prefer to group them by type first so I don't get France,then Geocaching HQ, then International Geocaching Day, then Italy, followed by Japan, Leap Day 2012, then Netherlands. Prefixing State/Province and other regions with countries (German States, Austrailian States/Territories) with a three letter country prefix makes sense though. The problem with allowing end user sorting is that they'd have to persist the sort order for every user and that would take development and storage resources. Creating a list of different types, then using a standard naming convention (i.e. US- for states, CAN- for provinces) would group all the souvenirs nicely. Displaying 3-4 lists of souvenirs (1 list for each type) doesn't only would require a small amount of addtional code then displaying 1 long list. Quote Link to comment
+geo-tek Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 so how do we sort souvenirs? Quote Link to comment
+noncentric Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 1 hour ago, geo-tek said: so how do we sort souvenirs? Via the geocaching.com website? You can't sort them. The ability to sort souvenirs has been mentioned in several forum posts over the years. Some threads from more recent years include: Sorting options for souvenirs sorting Souvenirs Feature Request: Souvenir Groups Souvenirs page customizing Souvenir sorting Souvenirs page customizing Please make the Souvenirs page editable per souvenir Quote Link to comment
