[open] Return CURRENT order with GetCharacterInfo(i)
 

This function currently returns character CREATED order. However, it has not been updated since the ability to manually re-order characters was added to the game, rendering it largely useless (for getting character order anyway; getting the ID for each current character name is still handy).

EDIT: It should be clarified that the function itself does not actually return ANY order as one of the return values. Instead it is used in a for loop to iterate through the table it returns, which is ordered by creation date.

For example: esoui/pregameandingame/zo_addonmanager/zo_addonmanager.lua

I didn't check, but doesn't "order" as a return value work? It's not yet documented in the wiki but used in the character selection screen.

local name, gender, level, championPoints, class, race, alliance, id, locationId, order, needsRename = GetCharacterInfo(characterIndex)

Probably only on the PTS though

Ok, nevermind - I think the function just behaves differently when called pre-game...

Yep, you are right. This was answered by ZOs in the past. After pre-game the param is either not returned or not correct somehow.

And no: It does not differ on live or PTS but is just a pre-game vs. in-game thing.
