Hillthorn Card Organization: Paperclip & R Shortcut

PC Demo Controls menu; selection behavior may vary

At a glance

The paperclip control is labelled Sort Selected Cards, and R is its keyboard shortcut. It targets selected cards rather than automatically selecting every card on the table.

Selection comes first. Pressing the sorting shortcut should not be confused with a select-all command.

A selection-first approach

One player suggestion is to drag a selection box around the cards you want to tidy, then click the paperclip. Treat this as a method to try, rather than a guaranteed fix for every Demo layout.

Check which cards are visibly selected before sorting. The control’s name does not imply that cards outside that selection will be included.

If sorting does not include everything

Start by checking the selection, then compare the shortcut with the Controls menu in your installed Demo. Do not assume R means select all, or that clicking the paperclip first creates a selection for you.
