:::I think the current layout is based on internal ordering. I believe the neutral Natures actually increase and decrease the same stat, which is why they fit in the place they do. It has no real functional purpose, but I think the current order is the best. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 18:47, 21 January 2014 (UTC) | :::I think the current layout is based on internal ordering.

::::The color coding gives people a solid visual cue to recognize which Natures boost a given stat or hinder a given stat, but there's absolutely no way to hint where a given Nature is in a non-alphabetized list. That's why the list should default to an alphabetized order. That way, people can use the colors for a quick glance, or sort the table if they really want. With the colors, sorting the stats should not be the first priority; making it easier for people to find a given Nature should be the priority.

::::Why should internal ordering really be a priority? Plenty of things internally ordered way differently than how we make them appear here on the site. The real priority is presenting the order in a way that makes the information the most accessible. As an aside, I think the chief purpose of this table isn't so people can look up a specific nature, but so people can make a determination of which nature they want for their breeding project. In that case, the order I listed seems like the most efficient one. [[User:Dada|Dada]] ([[User talk:Dada|talk]]) 10:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
