+1 for this issue. This needs to be a setting in the UI to chose the sort order asc / dsc, or it just needs to revert to how it was before which makes sense as OP has pointed out. Please fix. As my save progresses, this is only going to get worse.
As an aside, I am still hitting the AP bar disappearing when playing on a controller. Switching between characters seems to fix it.
Great game otherwise :)
