    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1. Use the free layout mode
    2. Go to instance finder
    3. Hope to get players from different servers than your own.

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
    Expected: See all the party members in the Grid2.
    Actual: Only the players from the current server are visible.

    What Grid2 version and language of WoW are you using?
    Current alpha of Grid2 and Grid2FreeLayer

    Do you have an error log of what happened?
    No

    Please provide any additional information below.
    Grid2FreeLayout uses the group sorting according to a name list to arrange the party members. However, the member names from other servers are shown as [player name]-[server] rather than just [player name]. I suppose that the error comes from the method "UnitName()" returning a name that does not play nicely with the nameListStr.

    I will try to fix the issue, but Grid2FreeLayout have another issues in random heroics that cannot be fixed due to blizzard restrictions.  It really was designed to be used in raid (a more controlled enviroment)  
    Layouts cannot be modified in combat , if some player leave, another player joins the group, and we are in combat the new player will not be visible in Grid2 until combat  ends.  This issue is really unacceptable (at least for healers), but its not posible to fix it :(.
