In a previous thread the order of heroes in the Feasting hall was concluded to be when the hero was first created: older heroes being higher on the list in the Feasting Hall.

Recently, this led me back to wondering how cities were ordered, since they seemed so...random, but I don't believe it is random. On server 3, one of my cities is a capped level 10 NPC, and for the last few months has been at the top of the list making me wonder if the level of the flat the city sits on somehow determines the city order. If this is the case, then the city I capped recently would be sitting on a level 10 flat since it popped up to the top of the list since the name also comes before the capped level 10s name alphabetically.

Thoughts?
