Steam inventory is no longer organized alphabetically?

Open
RATT78

For several weeks now I have noticed that my trading cards, gift and booster packs (community items in general) are no longer organized alphabetically, that is, by game name A-B-C... now they seem to have been organized by APPID?

I hoped that as the weeks went by this would be reversed after some weekly maintenance, but it has not happened.

This may not be annoying if our inventory is small but if we have several hundred pages of items it can be annoying (especially if you are obsessive like me, LOL).

Here I leave an example of how my trading cards are organized at this moment.

  1. Half Life
  2. L4D2
  3. Portal 2
  4. Earth 2160
  5. Two Worlds: Epic Edition

With these 5 examples you can see that their organization is not based on the alphabet. Let's check the Steam APPIDs.

  1. Half Life - AppID 220
  2. L4D2 - AppID 550
  3. Portal 2 - AppID 620
  4. Earth 2160 - AppID 1900
  5. Two Worlds: Epic Edition - AppID 1930

Yes, it seems that the organization criterion is by AppID.

Yes i noticed. it should have been fixed by now. It has to be a bug, can´t be a feature, because it doesn't make sense.

I can't imagine any reason for such a sorting either (from player's perception). If it was intentional, it should have been added as an option. Additionally, no patch notes regarding inventory recently and it's happening in non beta client and app, too.

they added new "features" like the inventory api limit or the market "There was an error getting listings for this item. Please try again later." error

Probably Steam wants to remind us evolution is constant adaptation (to new quirks)?

Maybe Valve wish to remind us they used to make games?

Obligatory "it's not a bug, it's a feature!"...
...which, knowing how Valve actually rewards their employees for the development of shiny new crap nobody asked for (as opposed to fixing actual bugs), is definitely the case.
