RE: Pedigree sort
The claim is that doing so would cause excessive web traffic and probably run afoul of some throttle Linden Labs has in place.
To be honest, that's probably correct.
But the problem is solvable.
The first step would be to add another option on My Account to allow the player to set the default to "Show" from the present "Don't Show". That solves the problem for new boxes, when the record is first created in the database.
It does nothing, however, for existing cats and boxes, either for enabling, or disabling, the option.
At this point, I'd suggest is a virtual certainty everyone has a Dock. And highly likely, everyone has at least one Dock at each sim where they have cats.
So, instead of sending a web transaction per-cat, send one per-Dock/Region, and have the Dock broadcast the option.
A function could also be added to the cat's menu and, thereby, to the HUD, allowing control for individual, and all, in-world cats and boxes, as well; thereby eliminating the hassle of running to the web site, and having to wait for the existing process to get around to sending the messages to the individual cats (several second to several minutes later).
