Modify display of other player's games

Postby PLAYER57832 on Mon Nov 01, 2010 8:17 pm

Concise description:
Modify "Show all games by player" so that any game with an active turn (the player is taking that turn then) shows first, followed by those in which the player's turn is "up", but they have not begun their turn yet.

[ Specifics/Details:
Minor modification to list of games you see when you click on someone's profile and ask to display all games. This way, Any game with an active turn will show first, instead of the "random" or date order in which they now appear.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

I will often check to see if a player who's turn is up is online. If they are online, I will try to check their games to see if they are playing to get a rough idea of how long they might be, if it might be worthy my waiting, etc.

Now, it is hard to find the active game. This would not require much change, just a small modificaiton.

I can see the benefits of this. I imagine it wouldn't be so hard- not really a big deal, but not hard to do either I think. Good to you -

It should be the simple addition of an ORDER BY on the SQL statement that fetches the games from the DB, so a one-line change for those of you that aren't tech savvy. ;)

An option would be great. Maybe have them listed both ways in two tabs? Or would an add-on be the best way to do this?

As I said, it would be very easy to sub-order the games like this, however in an addon it would be much more difficult.

I am not sure why you would want it listed the current way?

If you want a specific game, just look through the list of active games, then down to the next set?
