Additional Move Analysis Sorting Options

[Stagnant]

Few things I feel that could be added to analysis...

Being able to sort by Moves that +/- Priority.
The type of the move(s) should be listed.
Show if move is physical or special. (Thanks Cantab)

That is all I suppose.

Priority can be found here, while for the type of move you can go to the individual type pages. I see no specific benefit to having them added directly to the moves page. If it doesn't clutter the format however I see no harm in it.

Edit: I do agree with Special/Physical, and honestly I think the targetting data should be exclusive to the page of the move itself (same with priority). Until we become more atuned to Doubles, it doesn't show any relevant information.

Whether the move is physical or special. This is something that would be useful on the moves pages of individual Pokemon too. If I'm looking for unusual attacking moves on, say, Regice, I don't know off the top of my head whether Flash Cannon, for example, is physical or special. (And repeat that not knowing for several other moves). If there was a column with that info, I could group all the special moves together. This would aid people somewhat in figuring out their own movesets.

Ease of data retrieval. Why search through 4 pages when it can and should be all on one. Also, I never knew that page exhisted.

I've tried to navigate to it but I cannot seem to find it... Home-> Moves->..?

Edit:

Now I've found it... under Articles, a not so convenient place if you ask me.

Fully agreeing with adding Physical/Special and type to the main moves page (and type for the older generation pages), they are things you want to be able to check large numbers of moves for quickly (especially when now to the game, and don't have almost all of them memorised), but priority is a more niche mechanic that only applies to a small % of moves which are easily memorised and can easily be placed in the description column. It currently has "The user always attacks first.", which could be simply changed for "Has +1 priority.", or whatever it's priority is, without the need for an extra column.

Ease of data retrieval.

You can just search "priority" on the Smogon search and that page is the first result. As for the other ideas here, I don't think they are needed, because you can find it on Serebii.net, but if you do, what about using colors or icons? Depending on how you use them, you might not need to make a new column for it.
