+title: Add sort options to run team overview
+status: completed
+type: feature
+priority: normal
+created_at: 2026-02-09T10:03:49Z
+updated_at: 2026-02-09T11:09:33Z
+---
+
+The Active Team / Final Team section on the run dashboard (`RunDashboard.tsx`) currently displays Pokemon in whatever order encounters arrive from the backend — there is no explicit sorting. Add a sort dropdown so the user can choose how their team is ordered.
+
+## Sort options
+- **Route order** (default) — sort by the route's `order` field, matching game progression
+- **Catch level** — sort by `catchLevel`, ascending
+- **Species name** — sort alphabetically by the display Pokemon's name (accounting for evolutions via `currentPokemon`)
+- **National Dex** — sort by the display Pokemon's `nationalDex` number
+
+## Scope
+- Frontend-only change — all data is already available in the `EncounterDetail` objects
+- Add a small sort control (dropdown or segmented buttons) above the team grid
+- Persist the selected sort in component state (no need for localStorage)
+- Apply the same sort options to both the Active Team and Graveyard sections
+
+## Checklist
+- [x] Add sort state and sort logic to `RunDashboard.tsx`
+- [x] Add sort dropdown/control above the team grid
+- [x] Apply sorting to both `alive` and `dead` encounter arrays
+- [x] Verify sort works correctly with evolved Pokemon (use `currentPokemon ?? pokemon` for name/dex)
