Inspired by other suggestions around Bonds and the concept of being "more competitive" in the market place for Bonds....
Right now there are 156 listings in just the AAA to BBB- section of Bonds to have to scroll through and monitor that small section of buried text that says what the Yield is (though it is bolded).
There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to sort by the Yield to find the best interest rate for a given rating, or even simply the best Yield overall. (Updated: stroked thru confusing bit - game sorts by bond rating already)
The order seems to be by rating, but that is rather inefficient if we want to encourage buyers to find those better rates to reward players who do offer something more competitive.
Added: I'd like to have an overall sort by yield. Then, for bonds with the same yield, sort THAT by bond rating.
IOW, make it easy for them to be found by potential investors. Players are people and this is a "friction" in that marketplace.
As time goes on and more people join the game, this will become and even bigger barrier than it already is.

I like this idea. Here my addition to it. Besides having it order highest to lowest yield % which alone would be helpful how about having a few more options in this filter.
Examples - 1. Like you said by yield % 2. Date company started. 3. Company value/ building value. 4. Bond Payment history ("credit score") 5. Time zones?

It alreasy is sorted by Yield First by company rating because of default reconstruction amount you get back. Then its sorted by yield

Carbonfiber world - well... yes it is, BUT....
It is not sorted the way I am thinking. I'd like to have an overall sort by yield. Then, for bonds with the same yield, sort THAT by bond rating. I will update the OP to be clearer.

If there is a use of this little improvement, i always say why not There could be even a filtering.

That's kinda what I was saying. Add more to the filter with different options when looking for bonds. The examples are in my other post here.

ThatCompany - Yes, indeed.
For the game developers: I have seen a few similar suggestions in different threads like this. As a general rule of thumb for UX, filters (since we are dealing with a lot of data) makes game (or any app) life somewhat friendlier to navigate and get what a player wants. I see a variety of locations where this capability would be helpful.

Hey guys! I agree, I think we want to add sorting.
Right now it sorts by rating and secondary by yield, i am thinking yo uwould be able to switch the priorities: yield first/rating second.
Sorting by restructure doesn't make sense to me as that is the same as sorting by rating.

Patrik, ok, that would work - switching priorities.

Yes, this would help make the bond market more competitive as well. Players could easily sort out bad yield bonds.
