Is there any way to do this? It seems that this should be a standard feature, no? I just installed the Iridium Overview and don’t like the order they are displayed, I am wanting to change them.
In searching for a resolution the only thing that comes up is to change the column order.
I guess numbers will also work, haven’t tried that.
The overview filters are fully customizable. Ingame in the overview settings you can export your current overview to a .yaml file which you can open in a text editor like notepad. There you can change the names to your liking and import it again.
Instead of sorting I use a different solution to find my commonly used filters myself: I keep the list of filters short.
While I haven’t used Iridium, I used Z-S for years. I noticed I rarely used all the specialised filters of Z-S, just a few of them, so when the default overview settings were updated to include many specialised filters by default I made a few custom filters for my own overview tabs and dscan.
With about 5 filters it’s really easy to find the one I need.
From the top of my head I think I use:
General combat - shows hostile and neutral ships, bombs, cynos, deployables and more stuff that I can shoot or can shoot me
Friendlies - shows friendly ships only
Travel - gates, stations, sun and structures and other warp destinations - in a separate overview tab
Dscan all - ships, structures, wrecks, deployables, probes etc.
Dscan ships - ships and probes only
Short list, so no need for filters. And if I ever need a specialised filter for some task it’s not hard to make one.
