{"ops":[{"insert":"Thanks so much for the suggestions!\n\n1) We won't be doing that one. While I do agree that it would be better for the majority of people, for anyone using exclusively a keyboard to use the site, it would prevent that link from being clicked at all. Accessibility is more important in this case I feel. \n\n2) I think I disagree with this one. Currently anything that matches while sorting within a stack by something will fall back to sorting alphabetically which I think is the easiest to understand for someone who's just glancing through the cards. While I don't disagree that there are some circumstances where it might be nice for the fallback sorting operation to be card type => then alpha, I don't think that it's the majority of cases. And with something this subtle, it's not worth adding an option for I'd think.\n\n3) Good call, will be in the next update.\n\n4) Can you elaborate on this one a bit please? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you looking for a way to sort cards by their color identity rather than just their color? Or are you referring to something else?\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"1) That makes sense especially when you consider the inconvenience of tabbing one additional time is nearly zero.\n\n2) I agree, sorting by type would be very confusing. Maybe this needs more thought, or maybe the edge case is to narrow to worry about. But just to rephrase my suggestion in case there was a misunderstanding: I don't expect lands to be intertwined with 0/x costed artifacts when sorting by cost and grouped by color. One solution could be to give lands a negative cost in sorting algorithms, thus insuring they're always together, or maybe lands should have their own column when grouping by color.\n\n4) Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. I imagine something similar to how categories currently work. Bomat is a creature, but I can change it's main category to instant (or a user defined category), and now it's included in the instants pile, which is badass! Custom CMC also seems to work this way, but I haven't used that yet.\n\nP.S. I've never worked an dev environment where you're directly working with the users of your product. Very impressed by the responsiveness, attention to detail, and honesty! I love this site, and it really shows how much you all care about it.\n"}]}
