Recent sorting change now has alternately named cards on their own instead of grouped with the original named cards. For example: the SLD card "The Ball" is on its own instead of being grouped with Fellwar Stone, and in the card info pane it's even called The Ball instead of Fellwar Stone. It's still always Fellwar Stone though, so this doesn't seem like a good change. It also makes finding the alt art of the cards a little harder. If I'm going through all the printings of a card I would want all the printings to be under the same name.
#Could the new sorting for alternately named cards be reverted?

That change was also needed if you have another language than English in the settings
That's why you can't just sort them with other names
Why would the language matter? Shouldn't they just be sorted based on the main card's name?
Sorting it this way makes it much harder to find alt arts if you want to use them.
Because if I want them sorted via Translated name, it needs to respect "The Ball" version
(Or the non English version of that)
That of course collides with that you don't want to search for "The Ball"
Why wouldn't searching for "The Ball" just bring you to Fellwar Stone? It's always Fellwar Stone any way. As far as I'm aware you can't actually name "The Ball" with any effect that asks for a name, you have to name Fellwar Stone.
But in the Dialog you can find "The Ball"
Separating them just feels needlessly messy. I just don't understand why they aren't grouped anymore. It feels like if you want to be able to search the alternate name, you should be able to do so without the alternate name being its own thing.
