When I ran a poll for a similar list, before @Lyya’s awesome website superseded it, there was a strong consensus for sorting by GoW order: > [@Poll: GoW Wiki - How to Sort the Troop List](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/poll-gow-wiki-how-to-sort-the-troop-list/3761): > > So in the next few days I’m planning to reprogram the sorting on the [main Troops table](http://gems-of-war.wikia.com/wiki/Troops) on the GoW wiki. It currently sorts by Primary Colour OR Secondary Colour, in alphabetical order by colour name. I’m going to make it sort by both colours at once, which will be much more useful. Now which colour is primary and which is secondary is important, because they determine which traitstones a Troop needs. However, for sorting, I think the best choice is to sort both together (i.e. group Red/Yello… The sorting order is consistent throughout the game, and mana is credited within the game in this order when there are multiple matches (Blue first, then Green etc.) So, while I acknowledge that this might be non-intuitive for newer players, I would argue that the solution is for newer players to learn the GoW order, rather than Lyya change her website. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gems-of-war-database-updated-troops-list-and-much-more/6037)._
