Two Item Collection Quality of Life Suggestions!

(If either of these have been suggested in the past, my bad!!)

I've recently gotten into creating a little item collection on one of my creatures and there are a few things that are kinda driving me crazy (or, more-so one thing that's driving me crazy and one thing that I just think would be cool), so here I am to suggest a couple of little quality-of-life improvements!

1. ORGANIZATION WITHIN SUB-COLLECTIONS. I just want all of the items I have used on my creature to be organized in some way other than chronologically in order of use. Ideally, I would love for items of the same "lineart" to be organized together, so like all of the different colors of Arnmnae Plushies I've used are displayed next to each other. Right now they're just scattered about randomly throughout the tab and it drives me nuts, because not only does it not look very nice but it's also difficult for me to search through in order to quickly see which variations I have already used and which ones I am missing. Alphabetically would also be a fine way of organizing things! OR a method that allows users to drag-and-drop items in whatever order they want, or a drop down menu that allows us to select between different organization methods. Just ANYTHING to give the sub-collections a bit more organization, especially for people who have used hundreds of items on individual creatures.

2. TRAVEL PHOTO ALBUM. This one is less important to me but something that I think would be fun. Right now, we are able to see all of the travels we have used on a creature, but all we see is the travel itself. I think it would be lovely if the travel and trinket travel sub-collection tabs showed a little image of what that specific creature looked like with that travel applied! The concept could be like, a little travel journal/photo album where you can reminisce on all of the places your creature has been and what they looked like ❤️ Maybe there's a way to toggle between this idea and the way that it is now, with and without the creature visible. I dunno! I just think it would be sweet.

Since items are such a big part of the game (especially with quests), I would just love if there was a little bit more quality-of-life considered when it comes to using items on particular creatures!

Gosh I'd love the first idea, I want all the variations of an item to be grouped together. I have my old item collection on one of my creatures and prefer having unique items but have accidentally used a few items twice since I missed it while checking through all the pages 😓 It would be nice if in Inventory before you use an item on a creature it lets you know if that creature has used that item yet.

The second idea is cute! I don't collect travels on creatures, but that would definitely be fun.
