ME Network, Storage Bus and formatting the terminal

[GentleBear]

Hi there,
I am fallen seriously in love with the Applied Energistics mod, and are starting to automate and store everyting using it. There are, however, a couple of things I'd like to store elsewhere, e.g. sand, cobble etc. I would like to store such things in MFR Deep Storage units using the storage bus as interface between the two mods. Now, after I have added these Deep Storage units, the formatting of the ME terminal has changed, so that everything stored using the storage busses is shown at the beginning of the terminal, instead of the different ingots, which I use more often than sand or cobble. Does anyone know a way to format the ME terminal to move the storage bus items further down? I know that I can preformat the ME storage units, but this doesn't have any effect on the position of the storage bus items. Any ideas?

I think the default sorting is by quantity, those items you have the most of appear first I think. Clicking the sort button allows it to be sorted alphabetically and then there's another way it sorts but I don't remember what it is.

Since you don't use them as often, maybe break the connection to the deep storage or use one of those black conduits that disconnects that run using redstone signal?

Meh... You are right that it can sort by quantity and alphabetically, the third option is priority/cell order. The problem with cutting the connection is that my quarry then lacks a place to put it's items. Hmm, maybe I could just use an standard export bus but then I'd have to WALK over to the storage unit to get my cobble ;-) (You know you're in bad shape when you're out of breath after virtually walking to get cobble ;-)

You're in bad shape when you try to give someone a thumbs up and pull a muscle in your hand.

With a standard wrench, shift-right click on ME storage blocks or busses to adjust their priority level. That'll directly affect their order of appearance in the terminal.
