Dead/Missing unit
« on: January 14, 2019, 07:13:08 am »

Is there anyway to filter/sort the unit list(u) dead/missing section to show only those units which are deceased and wasn't put to rest, and zoom in on their body location to figure out why?

Also on that list, what does it mean when unit names are blinking? I have couple of deceased soldiers whose names are blinking, and I know for a fact that they are buried in a coffin.

No, there are no sorting options for this menu. Not yet. Maybe later, when DF will be more complete and Toady will get to programming all those utility sorts in all those menus.

Historical people and monsters are blinking, as to signify their historic importance. I am always puzzled, when using bridge on blinking monsters, as maybe there could be some specialty coffins for those in fortress mode, which could add to fortress fame, important and such?

To locate corpses, you'll have to go via the stocks screen. There's a section for corpses, and by using <TAB> you get to a detailed listing, from which you can zoom to an individual object.

Meaning of blinking depends. On your people (and many other) it means that the blinking guy has one or more skill at a very high level skill (LEV 11 I think), so your elite soldiers blink, even after death. On beasts and the like it either means they earned it (by being nasty) or were born with it (like forgotten beasts).
