Best way to sort pets

Postby Haytham Stark » Sat May 11, 2024 3:29 am

My pets have gotten a bit unorganized over the years and I really want to fix that, but I can't seem to decide/find a good way to sort them all. The only ones I do have organized are holiday/event pets.


How do you have your pets organized and what do you feel is the best way to sort them 8-) maybe I'll find something that works for me.

The way I sort my pets gives me a TON of groups, which might not be your cup of tea, but it's working alright for me so far.

I have groups that I like to keep at the top of the dropdown list, so their names start with 0. Here, I have my duplicates/trade groups, nursery, and event nursery, along with a couple of groups that just have pets that I like in them.

The rest of my groups are organized by year and event. So for example, I have separate groups for Halloween 2023, 2022, 2021, and so on. I only have groups for major events, though. To me, a major event is one that typically has more than one page of pets in the archive, so things like Christmas, summer events, Easter, etc. All other event pets go in a group called Small Events [Year]. I also have a separate group for monthlies for each year, and the staff pets for each year.

I like this system mainly because it gives me a quick idea of the worth of pets and I like seeing things organised into different sections XD. It does become a lot of groups, though, and every time I trade for pets, I can't organise pets I receive too quickly because I have to check what group they should go into, so it's not as easy as just separating by year, but it works pretty well for me.

:) That does seem like a helpful system, even if it is a lot lol

personally i have a few groups set aside for pets i really like/dressups. i have them organized by year so i have pets i dont have dupes of/dont wanna trade away in those groups vs my one trade group and my rares+ group along with the high value group. keeps things tidy in my eyes, it's hard to explain but easy on the eyes
im so proud of you.

:) that's a pretty cool idea. I never even thought of a group of dressup pets. I also really like dressing my favs up x3
