This is a neat idea. However, what if someone would prefer some kind of logical grouping? For instance, if they had a group of survival worlds and a group of creative worlds. I imagine they would prefer those to show up together. As such, I have some ideas for tackling this and providing a way to satisfy both desires.

[SlimeDog]

A variety of useful sorting schemes would be great. Alphabetical just makes them easier to find in the list (I have 23 worlds), and I would think the easiest to implement. Grouping is a whole other kettle of fish.

[VL4DST3R]

What is the current reasoning behind how worlds get sorted? It is so annoying having them mixed at random, even if you import them in a specific order. Even more so, if you try and edit the worlds.yml file to manually sort them, they reset back to the "random" order.

[SlimeDog]

Since it's been raised again, count again my voice for alphanumeric sorting.

[timriker]

Another vote for alpha sort. This should include /mv list as well as the api for plugins like dynmap so that worlds are sorted there as well.

[VL4DST3R]

Ah yes, dynmap is also affected by this. Iirc you can fix it on the dynmap side by manually rearranging the generated web files, but again, still a pain. Please add alphabetical sort!

[timriker]

It might be as easy as adding a sort(compareByAlias) to getMVWorlds() with something like:

Collection<MultiverseWorld> compareByAlias = new Comparator<MultiverseWorld>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(MultiverseWorlds a, MultiverseWorld b) {
        return a.getAlias().compareTo(b.getAlias());
    }
};
