  @Bortas: As far as I know, there is no _good_ way to sort and organize your character page asides from using tags and searching. However, there is a kludge way to move your characters about:
  
  The really hack way that I can think of can organize your characters into 3 groups. For the first group (Lets say PC’s), put a space in front of their names. This will put them in order at the beginning of the list. Don’t do anything special for the second group. For the last group, use Alt-255 at the beginning of their name. This will look like a space, but alphabetically, comes after all of the other letters. (Literally, just hold down the [Alt] key, hit [2] [5] [5], and release the [Alt] key.) And now your characters will be somewhat organized…ish!
  
  There won't be any true separation with these groups (unless you put in some blank separator characters or something?), but at least they'll be somewhat ordered like you want.

  Tragically, separation between the PCs and NPCs was one of the casualties of the Reforge. There are a few methods to sort of fudge it (as Thorvaldr said), but there is (at present) no way to really do it cleanly.

  Haha, hack alphabetizing, I had that exact solution in place already ;-) "Char List":https://morwindl.obsidianportal.com/characters
  
  Check out what Kallak "pulled off":https://dangerous-kalamar-4.obsidianportal.com/wikis/characters he talks a lot about menu reorganizing, but not much about that part.

  PS: Great campaign, I love your Player Point system, and great work on the custom graphics!

  I used the info posted here, http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=3495&page=1#Item_17 , and put a space before each PC name. This put them in alphabetical order with the NPCs following in alphabetical order.

  So another thing you can do to make certain characters stand out on the character page: color-code and/or bold significant tags.
  
  For example, a simple set up with green "PC" tags and red "Deceased" tags (my tags are normally blue, so these colors stand out):
  
  @.character-index.campaign-public-layout #content a[data-tag="PC"] {color: springgreen; font-weight: bold;}
  .character-index.campaign-public-layout #content a[data-tag="Deceased"] {color: firebrick; font-weight: bold;}@
  
  You could add as many tags and colors as you like, or you could make certain tags not display, etc... Just copy the line and change the "data-tag" and "color" values.

  Blending a few different styles has been effective for me thus far. I'm still tweaking the final color/border/opacity palette.
  
  /*CHARACTERS (& ITEMS)*/
  /*Make GM only characters slightly transparent*/
  .character-list-item.gm-only {opacity:0.6; }
  
  /*Make GM only characters opaque on hover*/
  .character-list-item.gm-only:hover {opacity:1; }
  
  /*Change border on GM, Character, and NPCs*/
  .character-list-item.gm-only {border-width: 2px; border-style: dotted; border-color: #333333;}
  .character-list-item.npc {border-width: 2px; border-style: solid; border-color: #333333;}
  .character-list-item {border-width: 2px; border-style: double; border-color: #b22a24;}

  Thanks billy, you've located something that really helped me out!!
  
  Find this line in "Kallak's":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=2951&page=1 code: @.character-index .character-list-item .character-info {text-align:center !important; border:3px solid black;background-size:178px, 178px; background-repeat:no-repeat; height:178px !important; width:178px !important;}@
  
  Replace it instead with these three lines: @.character-index .character-list-item.gm-only .character-info {text-align:center !important;border:3px solid red !important;background-size:178px, 178px; background-repeat:no-repeat; height:178px !important; width:178px !important;}
  .character-index .character-list-item.npc .character-info {text-align:center !important;border:3px solid black;background-size:178px, 178px; background-repeat:no-repeat; height:178px !important; width:178px !important;}
  .character-index .character-list-item .character-info {text-align:center !important;border:3px solid yellow;background-size:178px, 178px; background-repeat:no-repeat; height:178px !important; width:178px !important;}
  @
  
  This will provide a nice bright yellow outline around PCs, and a red outline around GM only characters, "as an example.":https://morwindl.obsidianportal.com/characters
  
  Aside from that, Thorvaldr's suggestion about hidden characters in the name to force a sort has been a simple workaround that I've been using until now.

  @.character-index .character-list-item .character-info {text-align:center !important; border:5px solid; border-color: #FFFF00 #FFA500 #FF4500 #FFD700; background-size:178px, 178px; background-repeat:no-repeat; height:178px !important; width:178px !important;}@
  
  On the character one, to give it a slightly bolder, raised look to each character.

  I was so hoping someone had found a way to sort. I really miss the old separation.

  Put a space in front of each PC's name. They will sort to the beginning.
