Sorting by Custom Value
3 years ago
California, USA

We have a category where we want to sort the runs by the consecutive number of times the runner did something and are potentially planning on adding another category with a similar metric. We tried creating a custom value, but we had to add all numbers from 1 to 200 or let users add custom values (which can also end up being strings for some reason) and then manually sort them so the drop down menu is still numerically ordered. Because of this, users or mods have to edit times to random and irrelevant values so that the ordering is correct.

Are there any plans to implement a feature like this? I can't imagine it would be too difficult to specify the custom value as an integer and then setting that as the default sort criteria as that's already implemented with something like IGT. I've looked this up and I've seen other forum posts asking the same thing in the past so I believe this would be a useful feature for multiple communities.

I too would prefer to see the site support this feature. For the time being you can do this off-site on something like Google Sheets, until the feature comes to this site if ever. (Bonus, you get to back up your own leaderboard data instead of having all the run info in one place.) Sorry I don't have any other suggestions to help. :(
