What is my suggestion?
As the game is now, in the contracts section (active), the tiles are ordered alphabetically (A-Z) by airline name alone—Beyond that, they are in random order. One, such as myself, might have hundreds of contracts of the same airline. This makes finding a specific contract an extreme pain. What’s worse, the random order within each airline is re-randomized every time you exit and re-enter the active contracts section.
My Suggestion is to have two further levels of sorting, by default: The Secondary level, assuming the same airline, would be A-Z by destination IATA code. The Tertiary level, assuming the same airline AND destination code, would be by aircraft type.
How would it work?
Ideally, I envision this as just an update/addition to the default system sorting, as it’s not a filter like the buttons we have in that section. It could also be a sorting button if there are other sorting options to be implemented.
Why is this a good idea?
This would be a MAJOR quality of life improvement for players with a large amount of contracts! While you would still have to scroll through the prescribed list to find a certain contract, you’d have an idea based on the alphabetical order of where it is and how long it’ll take to scroll to it. This will save a lot of eye strain looking at the small text while scrolling, and will prevent frustration, especially when something is missed.

Here is how these 4 contracts, for example, are randomly ordered by the game:
Here’s how they would be organized with the additional sorting:
Please note, it took some decent ChatGPT and photo editing to create the bottom image, so ignore the uncanny skewing and text/pictures. I also wanted to include 5 contracts as an example, with 2 being LYS to showcase the aircraft type sorting as well, but that was a limitation of the AI image generation, so you’ll have to imagine the tertiary sorting on top of this.
