sorting players in lobby

[madpeople]

sorting by name, wing work fine, i assume rank will if it contains rank data

sorting by game owner or commander column doesn't work, it just places the comm somewhere in the middle or 3 places down or something

i propose clicking the GC or comm tab returns the list to have comm at the top and back to the normal join order.

i guess normal join order is not stored anywhere, so just let clicking the order by GC / comm place the comm at the top like usual (and stop ordering if any changes to the team occur - returns the team list behaviour to normal)

I noticed the same thing mad, we will stick it on the list.

I to wanted to return to the 'com' on top and rest ordered by when they joined but was unable to.

I had to play around with it, but for the life of me I can't remember how I did it. To make the comm appear back at the top. I will try later and post how I did it.

Check last game stats, going back to the lobby screen resets whatever sort mode you were in.

I would still like to suggest a rank sorting in the f6 screen while in-game.

While join order has it's uses, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be prudent to show them by ranking (comm 1st, then highest rank on down). Maybe it doesn't matter, and it can be handled otherwise, but it seems to me that the join order is used to determine who comm gets dropped on - which can be bad if the next player is a basic beginner.

Perhaps the best thing would be to keep the join order, but if comm drops, the server(?) picks the highest ranked member to drop it on.

That was it! Left the screen and came back.

OMG lol,

i expected this to be a minor fix to be shunted to r4 as "things that would be nice after we sorted the main stuff"

nice to see were getting a fix
and that there is a way to "fix" it for the moment (prev game stats) though that only works if you were there for the prev game

Umm, I said we would put it on the 'list', I did not say when it would be taken off said list
That depends entirely on if a dev picks it to impiment/fix or not.
You are correct there are a lot of other higher priority things than can be done.

Mad, BV just told you the easy solution.

also, looking at the game settings screen works too.
