Database changes - combo and hybrid species details!

A very exciting database update :D Samanayrs can now have more than one species listed, and you can search for Samanayrs with multiple species!

For example, if you have a Desert Aquatic Sibyl, it will now be in the database as a Desert Aquatic Sibyl instead of the 'Combination' catch-all species :D Sams such as Mystics and Miseries can also now have all of their species listed instead of just being under 'Mystic' or 'Misery.'

This affects hybrids as well since they can now have their hybrid species listed!

If you have any Sams with more than one species, it would be a big help if you could go through and edit them so that all of their species are listed :D The new form is pretty self-explanatory but let me know if you have any problems!

On the main database page, you can now search for Sams with multiple species. If you want to try it out, search for 'Northern' and 'Lamanayr' since those are the first two whose species I edited XD

A big thank you to my friend Rythe for making this possible :D

This is awesome! Thanks Rythe!
I've gone and updated all my Samanayrs that needed it.

One thing I noticed,(which may be more of a personal preference thing...) is that it lists Mystic first, like Mystic Kirin rather than a Kirin Mystic.

Quite welcome! It was my pleasure to do it. ^^

As for Mystics being sorted first, that was a concession in part to the naming of Hybrids. Mystic and a few other species modifiers have to be sorted out for them, but if Sushi is up for it, I can modify one little line of code so that said sorting only happens for Hybrids.

The other consideration is that we'll end up with a slew of Mystic Samanayrs, Samanayr Mystics, and Samanayr Mystic Lamanayrs, but eh. This is where Sushi's preference gets to have her say.

Yes, thank you Rythe!
I noticed the change a few days ago (before I saw this), which I was like 'whoa' but I never got the time to check out what was going on - very cool!

I have one sam, that's now coming up as a Tribal Mystic Desert Lamanayr XD

The updates continue! This is entirely on my end but I can now delete multiple items at a time, which is going to make trades and breedings and stuff a lot easier :D

Species order has also been tweeked (as soon I upload the files).
