I believe vendor order is listed by age of the vendor.

I made a vendor for JtL a month before the launch and just put a note in it that said check back after JtL launches. Sure enough, that vendor lists first under Ships for my planet. Ever notice that when you replace vendors the new vendors drop to the bottom of the vendor list?

I think it works just like the items listed on the vendor itself...oldest stuff first. You can test this by grabbing something you know to be pretty old and plopping it on the vendor, it'll jump to the first page right away.

I really don't think people only look at the vendors at the top of the list. I generallyl look at vendors based on where they are. I click on vendors in the list until I find some near me and then I visit those and work outward. I'm not sure how to fairly move the names around by anything other than vendor age.






I'm with Doc on this, I don't go down the list and visit each one, I go down the list and find the ones closest to the area I am in..then go to those ones.


I've never paid attention to the vendor list to be honest, half the time I don't even notice the names. I just click on it to see where it is

My usual shopping strategy is to click on the class of vendor I'm looking for, see where the WPs lie, and visit them in a convenient order. However, I have no doubt that there's an advantage to being near the top of the list. I don't see any fairer way to do it.
