Did everyone's pages for items change, or is it just mine? Insulated Cloth Cap changed to Chapter 4 page 10, and my small cloth padding switch from Chapter 1, Page 2 to chapter 1, Page 3.
I also just hit 75 ranks, so I don't know if that made a difference.

Whenever new items are added or the game crashes the books are reloaded from some sort of table or database and the items of like difficulty seem to shift about. So if there's three tier 1 items, they'll flip flop order. If there's only one item in a tier, it won't move since the chapters in the books are sorted by item difficulty.
DR's engine makes it incredibly difficult to handle a lot of calculations at once. So I had to build short cuts into the system. One of those is a pre-computation of all the templates into nice, mostly-sorted lists.
Unfortunately the engine decides to reverse the order of the items we are sorting through each time. And well, I'm at 90% CPU usage during these pre-computations as it is.. so adding anything to the sorting algorithm to try and handle this is not advised :(
If I really set my mind to it I could likely optimize it more and find a way to get it working better. But that isn't as productive as working on new content right now, I think.
