API Question

Hi,

I have noticed that some leaderboards show in reverse order.

For example in survival leaderboards the person with the highest time becomes 1st.

I couldn't see anywhere in the api on github referencing how to deal with this or anything to denote that a particular category/sub category should be displayed in reverse order.

Can someone advise please :D

I think it's something the mods themselves denote about the board when they set it up. Not at my computer right now (on mobile) so I can't confirm.

You can do that by checking the "Timer Ascending" next to the category and that will happen.

European Union

funny how you guys go into >aggressor-modo< this is an api question, not just solvable by checking a tickbox.

afaik if you request a leaderboard, it should automatically give you the correct ordering, so all you need to do on your end is compare place 1 & 2 to see if it's reversed. although ROMaster2 might know if there's an in-api way of doing so.

I did think about doing that HowDenKing, however if possible I would like to keep requests to the minimum if possible and have also noticed on some leaderboards that it is possible for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd position to be tied which can be of course fixed by requesting a larger dataset but that just seems like an awefull way to do it too.

There's no api for if a category is time ascending, I'm afraid. I ran into problems with this too.
