List Components/Radicals by Stroke Order

Something I’ve noticed in looking at the “component composition” section is that the radicals (or components) are not always in an order that makes sense. For example, when I open up 做’s full lesson card, it lists the components as headstone, foreman, slenderman, but they’re written left to right as slenderman, headstone, foreman. I know HanziHero doesn’t teach stroke order, but it would be helpful to have the components listed in a standard top down, left to right manner to reinforce where the different components are in the character.

Great idea, and I will hijack your suggestion to also suggest sorting by stroke count on the character list:

Both great ideas!

Stroke order should be pretty easy to add, as we can get the data elsewhere without much effort and integrate it in.

For listing in component order, this is something we will keep in mind when we do future curriculum improvements. One other thing I have thought about on this front is listing the components twice when necessary. E.g., 出 should list 山 twice, right now it lists it only once. This sort of work is much more labor intensive, it requires us to manually inspect and then edit each entry in the database! However, a nice north star to have. :+1:
