I pass prompt a list of options, and it reorders them.

Not polite.

Yeah, Zilal didn't like that either, and I don't really like it because it automatically places "no" first in a "yes","no" list.

Right. It's still on the list. Will probably be fixed in the next update.

I DO like the alphabetization with some things... I generate some very long lists sometimes when I have to choose from all types of objects, or all rooms in the game, or all people... er, at least I would if people played... maybe some day we can have a new prompt command, alphaprompt() or something, that does alphabetize the options?

You can always use another function to alphabetize the list for you. (I forget if theres one included, or if someone has made one, but I know one exists somewhere..)

I think Deadron's library might include a list sorting function.
