::::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) | ::::Why should internal ordering really be a priority?

:::::And you're completely glossing over one of my points: the color-coding gives people a fine way to identify which Natures do what for a given stat even when not ordered by stats. That makes organizing them (by default) by stat redundant, certainly when compared to the needs of people who may want to look up a given Nature instead. | |||
:::::I mean, just look at your table above. You can't tell me it's not easy to identify which Natures hinder Defense. The color coding should be all that's necessary, and if someone ''really'' wants to, they can sort the table by stat.
