Anti made the mistake of having the deck tag on original sort. It stopped 2 good uses: CuCN's deck tag art, & arena deck posts
Compromise: have deck editor produce sorted codes
good enough, though sad that five years of history won't be retroactively fixed
will deck editor's sorting result in unupped/upped/shiny/unshiny versions of a card all being next to each other? that, along with same-element cards being next to each other, is basically what i care about. it's super difficult to read currently when you have the same card in 2+ places
might actually be best to just bandaid this one until card code revision happens now that i think about it
edit: fwiw i'd be perfectly comfortable adding a "nosort" flag to forum deck, e.g. (deck nosort name=arenadeck) to tell it to not sort for when people want to post an arena deck with the arena card shown first. i also am perfectly comfortable with people's arena decks being sorted.
