I really dont see why this annoys you so greatly.
Because the inverse thing happened to me today, being on a faction with the tag at the left side, and being hunted and (magically) allocated by a massive number of enemies with their tags on the right side.
Quote:Using the players list to find certain factions easier is, after all, not something that one would be able to do in a realistic RP universe.
In the case for locating in physical place, it's not possible in a realistic environment. There you have the reason.
But for the case of communicating, you could "make a seach on your communication frequencies list filtering by faction, so you could contact various members of a faction in an easier, faster, and assorted way" (Thing that I usually did on the past during negotiations being the intermediary between a client and a seller and such).
Getting an scrambled list, just makes the task harder.
Anyway, with the two tips I received, it could be done a bit easier, as I could ask the members of that faction to group themselves (at the cases they don't trust me enough to put me into the group)... The thing about grouping by location would only work if the negotiation is done with various parts of a same convoy, but could work aswell, yes.
The thing between brackets happened to me a couple of times, as some people that I added to group tricked me into "reputation manipulation", which involves picking up a mission, invite the target to the group, and then leave the group, leaving the person with a mission that will affect his reputation in both cases, which is annoying when you try to be neutral to some particular groups.
I, for example, rarely accept group invitations unless I receive an extensive previous explanation or I know the source can be more or less reliable.
