I believe it's bugged atm
It is undoubtably bugged!
I really should do something about this signature.
Very much bugged. You can sort of get around it by arranging your characters as you want them then setting the slots file to be read only.

Badging character: Bimble on the Union server, Badgehunter.com and City Info Tracker.
It only re-jumbles the order of my characters if/when I switch server, so my pseudo fix has been to stop playing Defiant and focus just on Union 
, but yeah I really wish they'd fix this.
Not quite as much as I wish they'd fix the server select screen crash bug though - that is really starting to get old.
Ok im probably being dense...
I would love to adjust the order of my alts (now up to 48...) in the selection screen - yet everytime I do so, when I return to the screen after play or logging it has "pinged" back to what it was before I was adjusting order.
This has being going on for ages, and whilst it isnt a biggie it has been a minor irritation for a while...
Anyclues?
