when I turn on “hide ranks”
and then go to chat,
names are still sorted by rank
so you see information that supposed to be secret with such option
you see who is stronger than you, who is weaker and how far from center of list your name is
sort should become by alphabet the moment you click on that option.
I’m not really a chat user so my opinion means squat, but sorting by rank is silly
Edit: blurred some things as @stone.defender pointed out the infohazards
I agree that what you say is sensible, but think it is minor importance and there’s 1000 things to do on OGS which are higher priority.
by that logic “hide ranks” would never be implemented
The good news is it’s client side, so it wouldn’t necessarily need to be “OGS core developer” time spent
Edit: if you’re willing to open a GH issue describing the feature request, Id be happy to add code pointers and tag it “good first issue”
Somehow this discussion reminds of a remark given as an analogy for semantic security: “a good disguise should also conceal the height of its wearer”
You can order the list alphabetically by clicking the little arrow on the top of the list
I prefer this way the best <3
But you will see list sorted not by alphabet before you can click this.
Yeah true… It would probably make sense to make the chatlist do that by default when hiding the ranks. Hopefully someone who knows something about coding sees this topic ^^
It would be logical to suppress the ordering by level
