Ordered Player List Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Where do I configure the player list ordering?
Open the mod's config file (usually found in your config folder) and locate the ordering settings. The config file uses a simple format where you can specify which player attribute to sort by and whether to sort in ascending or descending order.
Can I sort players by their permission level or rank?
Yes, you can set the mod to sort by permission level or rank by configuring the appropriate criteria in the config file. This is useful for servers that want admins and moderators to appear at the top of the player list.
How do I arrange players alphabetically?
Set the sorting criteria in the config file to sort by player name, then choose ascending order. The player list will then display all online players in alphabetical order.
What criteria can I use for ordering players?
Common sorting options include player name, join time, permission level, rank, and playtime. Check your config file for the full list of available criteria supported by your mod version.
The player list isn't sorting—what's wrong?
Verify that your config file syntax is correct and that the criteria you specified actually exists in the mod. Also ensure you've saved the config file and reloaded the server or game after making changes.
Do I need to restart the server for sorting changes to take effect?
Yes, you typically need to restart the server or reload the mod for changes to the config file to apply to the player list.
Can I use multiple sorting criteria at once?
This depends on your mod version—some versions support primary and secondary sort criteria (for example, sort by rank first, then by name within each rank). Check your config file for multi-criteria sorting options.
Does this mod work with other player list mods?
Conflicts can occur if multiple mods try to modify the player list simultaneously. If you're using other player list-related mods, test compatibility or disable conflicting features in the config.
Will this mod affect server performance?
The mod has minimal performance impact since it only reorders the existing player list without adding new mechanics or entities. Sorting happens once when the list updates, not continuously.
How do I reset the player list to default ordering?
Either delete or restore the default config file, or set the sorting criteria to 'none' or 'default' in the config—the exact method depends on your mod version.
