Title: screaming need for alphabetical lists
Post by: plasticpanzers on November 09, 2015, 05:10:14 AM
I suppose I just don't know how to do it yet (only my 3rd day or so playing) but there must be a way to list moons, asteroids, and
other celestial bodies alphabetically as my eyes are about to fall out trying to find the right one each time i look.

It would be a nice option to have , but keep in mind currently they're listed by distance from the palsarent body which should make it fairly easy to find important ones once you remember their order, also you might find helpful the option on the system information window which lets you hide asteroids or moons without minerals. It's on the options tab at the left.

Well in Sol, they can be quite confusing as all the different asteroids have "real-ish" names, and such.
But once you branch out of Sol, what you'll find is that most planets and asteroids are named in a numeric order. Closest to sun planets first, along with their moons, then planets farther out. Sol is really the only annoying one in these regards.
