Description of the Feature:
A lot of people have been asking for the option to sort the database and change the IDs of anything there.
However, because the entire engine is ID-Based, that is NOT easy to implement - not even with the suggestion of refactoring the ID-count, because there are too many direct ID-assignements in the corescript or in plugins (starting with the fact that the attack skill is always the skill with ID=1, that prevents easy refactoring the skill-IDs as an example).
So I suggest an alternative approach that should bypass those implementation problems:
Add a new string to each database list that is completely ignored by the engine, but allows filtering or sorting in the editor.
Besides a new field for it on every list tab it would need a button to change the list itself from ID-Based to the new string and back, and buttons for sorting on the new values/strings
Why is this feature good?
Possible issues with this feature?

Why is this feature good?
- allows for custom sorting on the new string in whatever way the user wants
- does not mess with the IDs like the other suggestions
Possible issues with this feature?
- Still a lot work and a change to the json files required, just not as much problems as trying to do the same with the IDs

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. 
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design...
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
