Options

Sorting

Game Language

Choose the language of your game so the program can read Pokémon species names. Supported languages are English (default), Japanese, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.

Number of Boxes to Sort

Choose 1 to 14 boxes, starting with the current box and continuing to the right. The default is 1.

Sort Order Rules

Add at least one rule. Rules apply from top to bottom, and later rows break ties. For example, with Dex Number above Level, the program orders Pokémon by species and puts lower-level Pokémon first within each species. Check Reverse on a row to reverse that rule's order. Any ties left after the last rule are sorted by National Dex number.

Rule Default order
Dex Number Lowest National Dex number first.
Level Lowest level first.
Gender (Male, Female, Genderless) Male, then female, then genderless.
Shiny Shiny Pokémon first.

The Shiny rule adds summary checks

When Shiny is in the rule table, the program opens each Pokémon's summary to check shininess. This adds time to the scan.

Output and Notifications

Dry Run

Scan the boxes and write the current layout to frlg-box_order.json and the planned layout to frlg-box_order-sorted.json while leaving the Pokémon in place. A regular run writes the same files before moving Pokémon.

Notifications

Configure notifications for program completion and fatal errors.
