Grid

475 - Groups badly sorted

== What version of Grid are you using? (Tickets that do not include the actual version number will be ignored.)
1.40000.1400-beta

== What version and language of WoW are you using?
English

== Does the problem still happen when you disable all addons (including Grid plugins) except for Grid?
Yes

== What is the problem? What were you doing when it happened? What steps can we follow to reproduce it?
Layout "By Group 10" doesn't seem to sort the groups properly. People tend to press F1 to target themselves, and then F2~F5 to target group members. Other Grid layouts show group members following that order. As in, the player will be the first one, followed by the F2 players, then the F3, F4 and F5, so it's easy to target them, without confusion. Currently, the sorting seems either bugged or set by another criteria.
As a healer, this is a big deal, and I would like it to be looked into.

== If there is an error message related to the problem, copy and paste it here:

== If the problem is graphical, take a screenshot and either attach it to your ticket, or upload it somewhere and include the URL here:
It's not graphical.

    The raid layouts included in Grid sort units within each group by name, not by index. If you want units to be sorted by index, you'll need to do one of the following:

    1. Edit GridLayoutLayouts.lua and change the sortMethod for groups in each layout from "NAME" to "INDEX".

    2. Write your own layout that sorts units within groups by index.

    3. Use a layout plugin that lets you define/modify layouts in-game.
