There’s not just 1 engineering team at Roblox where any engineer can do any task. The team that works on those features is not the team that works on badges. There’s many teams owning different pieces of the platform who are experts at how their piece is implemented.
The team that owns badges, which also owns several other products, was overcommitted on their roadmap with other high-priority maintenance work and new feature work such that they couldn’t consider this feature at the time of my previous post. This may change in the future as priorities shift and they might implement it in the future provided the need justifies the effort. Rearranging badges is not just a database change but also we need to adjust some web pages etc.
The best thing for you to do when you see a problem that you need solved is find the corresponding feature request thread on the forum and support it with Likes, relevant replies explaining your stake, etc. You can also raise the topic on AMA threads, at RDC, and in focus groups with our product team. All this helps the team balance the need against all other needs that users are asking them to do something about.
We need this feature for exampleI wasnt good at scripting when I started this game so I scripted the welcome badge later. This means that the WELCOME badge displays at the bottom
I would love to see this added. Sometimes we add badges too late and then we end up having the welcome badge showing up after beating the boss badge, we all know welcome badges should be at the top of the page so this real annoying. Usually the badges are ordered form “most awarded” to “least awarded”. Welcome badge would be at the top and beating boss badge at bottom.
At the moment the best way to rearrange badges is to click off the “item is active” and make completely new badges. Another way would be that developers would have to think of a list of badges they want and then create them in order, but then they couldn’t create more badges later as it would be out of order.
Bumping this again, great to see its being thought about by Staff though.
Just finishing up an 8 month project, and immediately messed up the badge orientation today ,now I have to re-do all my badges in the order I want.
The only solution currently for this is to mess with all the badges name/description and code that gives badges. I think this is why I think they havnt done the badge re-orienting already.
Heavily bump this, the process of re-organising badges as of now is tedious and I hope that Roblox can implement a system either similar or exactly like how you’ve suggested; it would help a lot.
Having this feature would help me convey to my players what achievements they can work towards in a more organized and easier to understand way.
For example, by being able to arrange them from easiest to hardest to obtain, chronologically (think obby stages badges), or by placing holiday events (haloween, winter, etc) all in one section on the list would make badges more organized for both developers and players.
I didn’t find another post about this, but since I can’t make a new post about this, I would also like to see this extended to group store items.
Right now items sold in the group store locked into the order of upload. Even if you update an item, like changing the price or description, it stays in its place instead of moving to the very beginning of the order of items in the group store. Just so things don’t look messy, I would want to arrange and group together similar items no matter what order of upload they happen to be.
This would be much better than having to change each badge’s title and description and then changing the IDs in the game. If you have over 5 badges, rearranging them is a huge hassle.
