Faction hits and sorting.
This is something I've been wanting corrected for a while now.
Currently, when you kill an npc, the faction hits are sorted alpha ascending. i.e. Quote:
Quote:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How should the rest of the hits be sorted? From logs/screenshots, the following is how they should appear. Quote:

Anyone have further insight into the ordering scheme used past the first line? | ||||||

From my live experience, it is sorted by: a) Native Faction, then b) Highest Faction Amount to Lowest Faction Amount. 30 > 20 > 10 > 1.
Will dig up some screenshots. Also, I have been wanting to bring up something similar. It's cosmetic, but "You have gained experience" message should be below faction hit message. Currently, it is not (and never has been).

I don't know when that patch came in.

Reworded above. I meant to say "amount of faction", largest to smallest.
Further clarifying: negative values are treated as positives when sorting 50 -40 30 20 -10 1

Reason: negative values

Just using process of elimination here, I think amax is right that the factions should be listed in descending order of the absolute value of the faction hit (it can't be from highest to lowest or lowest to highest because a negative hit appears between two positive hits in that screenshot, and it can't be in alphabetical order as that screenshot also shows). This would make sense since that automatically puts the NPC's main faction first, and it seems consistent with all the evidence shown.
