Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, PKHeX only allows sorting boxes by a single sort rule — either one Normal Sort option or one Advanced Sort option — not a combination.
This makes it difficult to organize large collections efficiently. For example, I might want to sort by Pokédex number first, then by Gender, Shiny, or Form, but the current system only supports one sorting layer.
Normal Sort options
- Pokédex No.
- Pokédex No. (Reverse)
- Level (Low to High)
- Level (High to Low)
- Met Date
- Species Name
- Favorite Mark
- Shiny
- Random
Advanced Sort options
- Usage
- IV Potential
- EV Training
- Ownership
- Type
- Version
- Base Stat Total
- Scale
- Ribbon Count
- Mark Count
- Legal
- Encounter Type
Describe the solution you’d like
Add the ability to combine multiple sort layers from both Normal and Advanced sort categories, applied in order of priority.
Example combined sort:
- Pokédex No. (or Regional Dex based on game version)
- Gender
- Shiny
- Form
- (Optional) Advanced Sort field like “Version” or “Base Stat Total”
Additionally:
- Add a Regional Dex Sort option that automatically adjusts based on the save file’s game version (e.g., Kanto Dex for FRLG, Galar Dex for Sword/Shield, Paldea Dex for SV, etc.).
- Include an option to save default sort presets under
Options → Settings, so a preferred multi-sort setup is automatically applied when a save file is loaded.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
- Manually sorting or dragging Pokémon between boxes (time-consuming).
- Running multiple sorts sequentially — but each new sort overrides the previous one.
Additional context
The current sorting system allows only one active sort method (see image below).
Combining multi-layer sorting with regional dex support would make it far easier to maintain organized boxes, Living Dex projects, or regional collections while respecting each game’s Pokédex order.
