Why is this alphabetical? Wouldn't it make far more sense to sort by... tier?
 
If you mean the main www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/, then I think it's a way to find the Pokemon easily without having to remember what tier it is.

However, I would prefer if you sort by tier to have it be alphabetical instead of it being random every time. For example, right now, it might go Abomasnow, Honchkrow, Crobat, Scizor, Flygon, etc. I would prefer if you sort by tier to go Abomasnow, Crobat, Honchkrow, Flygon, Scizor, etc.
 
IMO alphabetical is fine. If you're looking for a specific Pokemon know the name of the Pokemon, or even the first couple of letters, it's generally easiest to find if the list is in alphabetic order. And it takes literally one click to set the list to ordered by tier.
 
Sorry, let me clarify: when you sort the list by tier, it goes:

UU
Uber
OU
NU
BL

rather than

Uber
OU
BL
UU
NU
 
Ah, right. Yes, that makes sense.

[20:31] <ete> right
[20:31] <ete> that makes more sense
[20:31] <m0nkfish> its not a big issue but its something that annoys me
[20:32] <m0nkfish> and it would be so trivial to implement
[20:32] <m0nkfish> actually it might be a jquery function which makes it a little more difficult
[20:33] <ete> mhm
[20:33] <ete> lemme link you to a SCMS page which should give you a clue..
[20:34] <ete> <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/jquery.js"></script>
[20:34] <ete> <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/jquery.tablesorter.js"></script>
[20:34] <ete> looks like it is jquery.
[20:34] <m0nkfish> tablesorter.js
[20:34] <m0nkfish> i will investigate
[20:34] <ete> ok

[20:36] <m0nkfish> yup looks pretty simple
[20:36] <ete> cool
