Hi,
Trying going to a page like this:

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npclist.html?zone=29

If you sort by a column header, for example Level Range, it only sorts the currently displayed results, which are fixed to be sorted by name. In other words, if a zone has more than 75 NPCs, you can't sort them all, only subsets. Sorting should sort the entire search result.

An easy workaround to this problem would be to increase the number of returned NPCs from a search to a higher number, like 500.

Many of us have been trying to get them to increase the size. At least it's 75 now, instead of 50. You can use the form to sort the entire set of mobs. See https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npclist.html?qt=18126&mobname=&typeIncExc=Only&lvlmin=0&lvlmax=0&zones=29&spells=0&faction_flag=UP&factions=0&image=1&order=level&ascdesc=d as an example.

Yther Ore.

I would still like a resolution to this. I don't want to seem like I'm wise on how Alla works technically, but showing a few hundred entries from a low-traffic database should be no big problem, instead of only showing 25 or 75 at a time. I don't have premium, so I can't use the advanced filters.

Thanks in advance.
