I want an item called "Health" to hold the number 1 spot on the inventory list for the entire game, I have seen this done in other games, how do I replicate this proccess?

I'm not sure how to do this, as there aren't really inventory 'slots' in quest. You could put the health as a status variable so that it always appears just below the inventory and you can always see it's value.

No way to order status variables or items in Quest.

I seem to remember you have to force a refresh of some status variables too.
