Two questions I thought I'd find answered somewhere, but haven't.
1. Has it been pointed out to ZOS that they should sort addon titles (in addon enabling page) stripped from markup? I hate it when Guild Search Store (blue) precedes BestFriends (purple) because of the color. They're also cutting the string length disrespecting markup, so if you have an icon with long filename, they break it in the middle, and you get white rectangle instead.
2. If they're not going to fix it, do you think it's possible to establish a
convention that would make specially titled addons sort correctly by a few initial characters at least? The trick would be to (ab)use the |c escape - put a sorting key to it instead of hexcolor (the parser doesn't care) - and place it before the desired color. Like this:
Code:
Title: |cBestFr|c9966ffBestFriends (example)
