+Blue_Ranger Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It would be nice to be able to sort souvenirs by something other than alphabetically. Newest to oldest, in the order earned, would really be helpful. For example, this would put the new Mary Hyde souvenir you just earned right at the top, instead of buried down between Maine and Maryland. This would be even more helpful when you know you SHOULD have just earned a new one, but you don't know the exact name-- like the last couple summer promotions, which didn't start with the same couple of words, and are scattered all over the souvenir list. 3 Quote Link to comment

ProjectGC lists all user's souvenirs in date order, but oldest to newest. For example see http://project-gc.com/ProfileStats/Blue_Ranger#Souvenirs for your stats. Note that the stats are only updated weekly unless you're a paying member, so the most recent souvenirs may not show.

+noncentric Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The ability to sort souvenirs differently has been mentioned in several forum posts over the years. You're certainly not alone in wanting some souvenir sorting capabilities. Some threads from more recent years include: 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
+Blue_Ranger Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 @Optimist on the run: I really ought to use ProjectGC more often! Sorting them in order like that, you can see where I took 2 geo-vacations, adding several new states and ending with a mega event. And then I noticed something odd, though it isn't important-- it took 2 days for Ontario to show up. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 As noncentric indicated, there have been several threads about sorting souvenirs. To me, the sort order isn't enough. I'd like to see the ability to group souvenirs by type (regional, event, special) and then sort them within each grouping. I don't care for the promotional souvenirs (and somehow I had one added to my profile (and subsequently "hid" it) the other day simply because I found a couple of caches). I do like collecting region based souvenirs and would prefer to be able to see them as a group, event based souvenirs as a group, and the special/promotional souvenirs as a group (or hide them entirely).

+NanCycle Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I also would like to be able to group them. I haven't missed an International Day of Geocaching since they started it, but had a hard time finding the one for 2012 because it comes up as "Second Annual". Even worse is the one for 2013; it shows up in the "31 Days." It would be nice to be able to group them and keep them together. Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I agree it's frustrating trying to view souvenirs and they aren't in order by the date you acquired them. Quote Link to comment

That also fooled men for a while. If you can't do something about the sort order, at least give associated souvenirs the same beginning to the names. The last souvenir would have been better named "Mary Hyde: The lost treasure (final souvenir)" in keeping with the first 5 and they would have all appeared together on the page.. 1 Quote Link to comment

Of course, that name (The lost treasure) would be sorted between week 2 (Smuggler's Cove) and week 1 (Weigh Anchor), but at least all 6 would have been together. Quote Link to comment

+dprovan Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 While I agree it's unfortunate (to the point of being amusing) that they named the series in a way that makes it inherently unsortable, I don't care that much about that because I plan to hide all of them, anyway, except maybe for the meta souvenir since it implies the others. But I'm finding it impossible to hide them. They seem to be impervious to the "hide this" button. Quote Link to comment
+van der Decken Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The final souvenir has just been renamed to "Mary Hyde: The lost treasure". So it now shows up with the other 5. They're not in the order they were awarded, but hey, glass half full! Quote Link to comment

+Max and 99 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm bumping this thread because it's still a currently discussed issue. It sure would be nice to be able to sort souvenirs. I'm sharing this because I think it us funny, and not to criticize HQ. I accidentally got a souvenir I didn't earn and asked HQ to delete it. A simple request, if only they could find it. After several messages back and forth, I included a screen shot and the problem was fixed. . Thank you, HQ! The point is that if HQ has trouble finding a souvenir on my profile, us commoners can expect even more frustration! A sorting feature would be helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment

+Lynx Humble Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I would also like to have a sorting option so I can put the country/state together and the others together and not a spaghetti like right now. Also being able to really hide souvenir and not just gray would be great because of the avalanche of new souvenirs this year I hide most of them except the last in the series. Quote Link to comment

Curious, where you "hiding" it and didn't realize it might be tougher for them to find, or was it just an odd souvenir to locate? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
