1) I don't see how that's a problem though, I mean, will it really matter to anyone if Qrow, Raven, and Torchwick are in the trailers subsection?

2) Agreed, Current affiliation is absolutely atrocious... and personally I see the worst part: We MUST constantly update it, hell it could make the entire order irrelevant in half a volume with a few key deaths or massive death event.

3) Is that what was meant by Alphabetical? an entire subdivided section per letter? seems like it would be bad to have 26 of those off the bat.

4) I still think an amalgam of MC's/Currently focused characters(ordered alphabetically with no letter headers) ->Season first appeared(ordered alphabetically) would make for a better sorting method than straight Alphabetical. 1) Roman, maybe not. Qrow and Raven? Pretty sure it would. Would you say we first saw Qrow himself back in the Trailers? Or Raven? I wouldn't, because all we got were some crows making cameos, and crows were more of an Author Appeal kind of thing with Monty.

Hell, we didn't even know these people existed until V1E1 (for Qrow) and Volume 2 (for Raven). Even when we learned they existed, we didn't actually see Qrow proper until Vol.3, and even after that we didn't even know they were in the trailers as birds until we learned they could turn into birds in Volume 4 and 5. And even then we don't know which crow was who.

2) Yeah, that's another problem with that format. It demands more maintenance and attention than the others, since in the span of 1 episode a character might need to be moved to an entirely-different section.

3) That's how I imagine it would be, taking into account the charmugs. I mean, they could just do it like in the Category pages where there are no pics whatsoever, just the name and link of the pages. But then where do the charmugs go? And it's not like they're useless to demand deletion like that.

4) You might have to make an example, because I have a hard time getting an idea of how that would look: "Main Characters, Ordered Alphabetically" + "1st appearance, Ordered Alphabetically".

The simplest I can think of is something like:

Main Characters

>Volume 1

>>A

>>>Etc, etc, etc, etc...

>>B

>>>Etc, etc, etc....

>Volume 2

>>A

>>>Etc. etc. etc....

.................And honestly, that's a needlessly complicated design that will turn the page into the tower of babel.
