    Sort by Difficulty

    I have a suggestion to the makers / moderators of the game. I know that some categories have songs sorted by difficulty, but why not all of them? If they all were sorted by difficulty, then everyone, including newbies, will not have a problem finding a specific song if they know the difficulty. I know how the dropdown list works, but you can't choose a specific category and difficulty range at the same time.

    Just throwing it out there for debate.

    They -are- all sorted by difficulty.

    Any songs that are out of order are that way because it is one step to simply put it in a genre, and another step to move it into a specific order in the list, and when new songs get added to the game, they are often just put into their genre first, and then sorted when someone has the time to get around it.

      Re: Sort by Difficulty

      Dance, Dance2, Funk, Hip Hop, Arcade, Rock... all sorted by difficulty.
      Classical is sorted by reverse difficulty (hardest to easiest).
      Secret is in order of how many credits it takes to unlock... which makes sense, right?
      Purchased isn't really in any order. Don't ask my why, it's complicated and annoying and grrrrrrrr.
      Token and Skill are in order that they were added. It needs to be this way because of how the backend of the system is (same with purchased, really).

      So, yea. that's all the genres.

        Arcade has Black Wing Metamorphosis at the end and it is Very Difficult. Also, the Legend of Zelda Remix is Tricky and it is near the front.

          Well the majority of the songs are in order. If you know the song name then you can use the drop-down list. If you know the difficulty, and you kind of remember the name, but you are not sure, you can sort by difficulty and search. I really do not see your argument if you are picking 2 songs out of 600+ that are not in order.

            Classical isn't exactly hardest to easiest. Piano Etude (Demon Fire) and FOTBB are both in front of the FGOs...Then you have Piano Etude (Gymnastics) and Death Piano at the very end after all the easy songs (except for The Entertainer).

            So yeah, there are a few gaps here and there, but it really isn't that big of a deal.

            Edit: After taking a second look, Classical isn't organized at all, really.

              As I said

                On a someone related note. I cant seem to get the sort by difficulty parameter thing to work on the song list.

                    Re: Sort by Difficulty

                    Heyy Tass, Are there ever going to be more purchased songs? Or are those the only ones because I've been here for half a year & not one is new.
