The order of rolls in the dice roller log makes perfect sense to me - last roll on the top ... however, when I want to post specific rolls to a game thread eg for combat, I have to manually reverse them.
EG dice roller log shows:
21:11, Mon 15 Dec 2014: Fred the Fighter rolled 5 using 1d6+3. Damage.
21:06, Mon 15 Dec 2014: Fred the Fighter rolled 22 using 1d20+5. Attack
21:05, Mon 15 Dec 2014: Fred the Fighter rolled 9 using 1d20+2. Initiative.
... along with all the other rolls in there from myself, other players and the GMs. Absolutely fine, wouldn't have it any other way.
BUT when I post in game I want that to read earliest to latest, so it follows the order of what just happened:
21:05, Mon 15 Dec 2014: Fred the Fighter rolled 9 using 1d20+2. Initiative.
21:06, Mon 15 Dec 2014: Fred the Fighter rolled 22 using 1d20+5. Attack
21:11, Mon 15 Dec 2014: Fred the Fighter rolled 5 using 1d6+3. Damage.
Now, as GamerHandle suggests, you could do that by setting it up as a combo roll, but personally I find typing in manual dice harder than using the dice roller a couple of times (and you don't want to waste that invariably good damage roll on a missed attack ! :P), so I've always done the manually editing. And pulled a face every time I had to.
Perhaps as Evil Empryss says we can figure it out the way it is, but for those of us bordering on OCD, they HAVE to be in the right order in the game thread ! <grins>
But I still come back to the latest to earliest order in the log making perfect sense and I wouldn't want to mess with that ...
BUT what I could go for, big time, would be a button or dropdown to simply sort the list earliest to latest, latest to earliest (reload in reverse loop) - that wouldn't be a GM option, just an on demand function so player A can sort the list displayed on their screen while player B sees it as the Lords of Law intended. Just a simple toggle:
Show: | Earliest to Latest |V|
Latest to Earliest
That way I could make all my rolls, and see them added to the log, then when I'm ready to copy I just hit the toggle, copy the ones I want and then I can paste 'em in to the game thread.
Even better, that functionality should sit under the Rolls option (underneath character name) that pops up a screen with just that character's dice rolls - so the toggle wouldn't complicate the dice roller, (
should therefore be easier to code, and would exclude all the other character/GM rolls (I only want mine if I'm going to copy them).
