| I got back after a while, I had like 12 event boxes, a box of chocolates, and I hear lanterns are about.
Opening them one at a time, especially if they aren't on the first inventory page, is semi-tedious.
If there was a way to fix it? Or at least make a sorting that would allow you to sort by consumable items. that way they are first.

| Me too. I wonder how hard it is to code something like that.

| I believe it'd be quite hard to do that. Mass-opening requires... ohmigod... I don't even want to think about. Basicially, you'd be using a lot of "if this, then that" codes, and it'd be...  As for the sorting idea, that would require setting some sort of additional sorter on all the "consumable" items. But the word consumable shouldn't be used because of items that get used up in battle. These "perishable" items would have to get a category, similar to the "gloves" category. And then, they'd have to be a change to the sorting system that sorts by types, instead of just the alphabet. An alphabetical sorting is a supplied piece of code, already in HTML. Sorting by category has to written by hand, typically, in my experience, each category is given a number or letter and is sorted by that, but I'm more of a Java coder, so I don't know entirely.
Catghost - Am I right on this idea?

It depends, I'd have to take a look at the code to say for sure, but because there is a single code that handles opening the items - it could be as simple as running that code for each item that is selected when they press "use".
As for sorting items by usability, you are right when you say that they'd need to be placed into their own category. However, there is also a way to code it so that it runs a check on which item can be used, displaying the result and showing all of the usable items. We'll definitely look into this, if it'd help with opening items and such.
There was also a suggestion to immediately use an item upon finding/claiming it - http://midorea.com/viewtopic.php?t=9021
Might help, along with mass opening, to reduce time it takes to manually go through and use them each individually.
