Sorting in Advanced search should synchronise the columns by using same heights for all cells

Sun, 28 Jul 2024 03:20:56 +0000

When sorting the search results (in the Advanced search tab) on columns like D/T or published date and other fields the sorting does work but the row height of the column GC code is not equal to the rest of the fields for the caches and selecting a certain cache is hard when you have a big list of search results. Even after using a bigger height of the search result table

I believe the sorting for all columns should use the same row heights.
In my case it is the Edge browser I use

What is the sort order rule for Top County Finders (Poland)?

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 11:17:38 +0000

Dear Sirs,

I was wandering what is the sort rule, the order in the list of top finders - is it the largest number of cache finds in counties? Less number of only one find in the county?

I am the second on the Poland list (Lekkoduch) but I was the the second person to achieve 380 counties finds, so what it tthe sorting patern, if it is nit a secret :)

Regards

Marcin (Lekkoduch)

Sorting changes - Can someone confirm that answers are now sorted differently?

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 15:55:10 +0000

Over the past several weeks, I noticed that answers to questions are now being sorted with primary and secondary parameters. Let me explain how I have come to understand it.

Initially, when multiple answers are posted with no up votes or down votes, they are sorted by date and time. First to post stays at the top and subsequent answers are sorted oldest to newest in descending order. I believe this was the original method before the changes.

Once up votes or down votes start accumulating, the date and time become a secondary sort parameter and the voting becomes the primary sort parameter changing the order with most up votes bumped to the top and fewest at the bottom. If no up or down votes the date / time stamp remains in effect.

A best answer overrides up vote totals and is automatically bumped to the top no matter how many up votes. What I have noticed is this ordering is dynamic as best answers, up votes and down votes change.

It would be helpful if the sorting methodology could be listed in the blue section to the right, for example:

Answers sorted by following priority: 1. best answer, 2. highest up votes, 3. oldest to newest.

Stable sort: sort by Difficulty and Terrain, or vice versa

(This is an “answer my own question”-style entry, like on Stackoverflow. I recherched it.)

I was wondering whether we can sort by Difficulty and Terrain separately; some tables have (had?) a combined D/T field, and sometimes I wanted to sort by Terrain first, then Difficulty (e.g. to consider T4 first when filling up my 81 matrix, T4½ later, etc).

In a combined D/T field, this is obviously not possible. When D and T are separate table columns, this is possible with a stable sort.
