Sebi, thanks a lot for all your work!

I got a question: is there a way to sort cards in the opposite manner, by "the earliest printing"?
I have a very practical need for this. I maintain several MTG card collections in my own way, which involves getting any one printing of a specific card matching that collection's criteria.

For a simple example, I collect Wraiths. All cards that have Wraith subytpe. Yeah, I know, I'm weird big_smile
So, to display all cards that I would need to complete my collection, I use this:
https://deckbox.org/games/mtg/cards?f=4 … =e&o=a
It shows all Wraiths ever printed, and I can see which cards I'm lacking, all good, just what I need.

However, I place all of my collections in binders. Ideally, I would like to be able to place them in order of appearance. If you look at the link above, for example the Street Wraith appears out of order. It was first printed in Future Sight, so it's supposed to be between Odylic Wraith and Bog Wraith in that list. It's easy to properly insert Street Wraith since this is a very small collection, but when you take the Myr collection for example (yeah, I know, I'm weird wink ), there are many of them and they have been reprinted all over the masters sets, it's becoming very hard to keep proper ordering in my collection.

Btw, the standard sets being apart from special sets is totally fine, that's exactly how I place them. However, if a card appeared in both (like Street Wraith), I would like to place it in the appropriate part, wherever it was printed for the first time ever, in proper order.

Is there a way to sort database cards this way? If not, would you consider ever introducing such sorting?

Thanks for this! Just one note: adding [[Unquenchable Fury]] gives the result from the Theros Challenge Deck, not the new Aura.

That is quite upsetting. Yes, the old version was not technically a Magic card, just an element of a side game, but it exists as a Magic collectors' item, and it's now a pain for many to resolve hmm

Thanks a lot! Great stuff!

The List is weird because it's all the same set, but it slowly changes over time. You probably need to manually update based on the changelog Wizards publishes with each set, which is https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/a … 2021-06-04 for MH2

I would like to kindly remind about this. The List seems to get updated on each set, and thankfully Wizards provide updates on which cards are added to it each time. Dude provided the link to the article listing the additions for MH2.

Nothing pressing here, I just got multiple cards that I am unable to enter into the inventory correctly. I hold them on a piece of paper near the keyboard expecting the List update on Deckbox, because I would rather enter them with the correct expansion at once than enter them with a currently existing expansion and have to remember to alter it later on the correct variation of the card.
