The sort on name doesn’t work properly in Dangerous Locations. It goes from location names starting with “P”, then “T”, then “B”:

It is sorted on name, but there are two lists.

The first list is queued targets.
The second list is unqueued targets. Troxean 1 is a queued target, Bispen 4 is an unqueued target.

The ui moves queued targets out of order and puts them at the top.

You're right. My bad for not seeing that before. Thanks for the info.

I probably would prefer a pure sort on names when the filter is... "Name", and maybe another filter called "Priority" (or something along those lines) that would move what's queued on top. But at least, I can now see that the way it currently operates does make sense.
