how are stuuf organised?

[Kanjejou]

because it doesnt seem to be alphabetical

so just asking what the logic behind how stuff are being organized

[Robert]

What stuff?

Some lists can be sorted alphabetically.
Some lists can be sorted by distance or value.
Some lists are sorted by an internal id (which kinda means they are sorted by the time the item or entity appeared in your fortress).

I never really found out if Toady is just too lazy to add proper sorting, or if this intended obfuscation, or just trolling.
