New entries for "House Hlaalu" are misplaced

Description: 

The new entries to the dialogue topic "House Hlaalu" have been misplaced in the dialogue list. They all appear above the unique entries that are filtered for Andothren, which causes the latter to never appear. While I understand this might partly be a file order issue, the general entries should anyway be put below the Same Faction one: "Yes, we both belong to House Hlaalu. Are you here to discuss business?". Placing them below the first two entries that are filtered for Balmora would resolve the issue with the Andothren dialogue.

I am also skeptical to preserving the lines starting with "House Hlaalu is one of the three Dunmer Great Houses with holdings on Vvardenfell.", although I am not sure whether all of them will actually ever show up. Wasn't one of the reasons for the update to get rid of lines that are centered on Vvardenfell from the Mainland?

This has nothing to do with Tamriel Data. If Mainland and RB have conflicting dialogue lines, RB should be fixed.

As for the Vvardenfell line, yes it's a bit iffy. However, Vvardenfell is pretty big and having a foothold is rather lucrative (what with the ebony) so these lines were mostly preserved when adding T_Local_NoLore compatible copies to Mainland. The major reason for the update was to make it possible to get rid of such lines, which it now is. If someone wants to rewrite them, they're more than welcome to.

I just assumed these lines would be in Tamriel_Data due to their generic character, but I should have checked first. Changing the concerned file now. However, it does not change the fact that the lines are misplaced, due to the Same Faction line, which should remain on top of the general lines. Further placing the lines below the Balmora entries would resolve the problem with the Roryn's Bluff conflict, so that is still the solution I am advocating.

Fixing this was included in the House Hlaalu merge notes. If this wasn't fixed, no players will see the Andothren specific entries for House Hlaalu.

The bug described in the first paragraph has been fixed. As to the second, I'm not sure which exact lines it's referring to, but most responses don't mention Vvardenfell; if a few do, it isn't the end of the world.

Moving back then. I think we were talking about different entries -- sorry! I meant the ones for specific Andothren nobles that would be required in the Temple questline. Those had sunk during a merge and were fixed by Taniquetil (IIRC) shortly before the release. The ones you are talking about, if I see it correctly, hadn't sunk, just placed incorrectly.
