Currently on SRC, mods can choose the individual platforms on which a specific game can be played by ticking off boxes from a bunch of options.

Under the current system, after being selected by the moderators, platforms are sorted into a list automatically. In addition, a seemingly random one is chosen to be first, which also is the default platform when a user chooses to submit a run. In my experience, this platform is not always the most common one. Sometimes, users will submit runs with the incorrect/default platform because of this. In games where it can be challenging to determine which platform a run was played on at first glance, this leads to problems sometimes for not only the verification but also users simply finding runs to watch.

My proposed solution is to simply change the platform list to a manual order, just like sorting categories or ILs.

While this may be a very small issue, I think it’s worth mentioning as the small quality of life changes can often make an already fantastic site even better. There may also be workarounds that I’m not aware of, but a simple method would be much better.

+1, I would use this feature. but maybe next time this should go in the feedback thread.
