Re: Sorting CC members by date last played

  When I sort by date last played in my cc's home page, at first glance it looks like everything is ok.

  However, if you scroll down one can see that it's not.  

  Seems only the 1st page or 2/3 sort properly, then the sort breaks.

   

  :edit   An option to export your own CC members to Excel, csv, OpenOffice, text  etc. would be nice too!

  An old issue, really old. EVEN OLDER!

  In fact, I don't remember that it ever worked correctly. But, in the Olde Days, you could sort members by "Date entered the CC", and this one worked!

  I never understood how one "date" sort would fail while the other worked, but it does and has done for an eternity.

  On PC, just select them, copy&paste, works like a charm! (minor reservation on the dates, if your Excel isn't "'merican", as well as the dot/comma issue on decimals.)

  Even older than really old!  Dang that's old.  :)

  Thx alosso, kind of figured it would have been known but thought I'd post it anyway.

  For it to be there for so long though just makes you wonder...I mean how hard is it to sort data.

  Thx for the tip, I'll give it a try.

  If you open the game client and go to country club and then members, the sort by last day played works perfect, it's a PITA, having to open another window to see it, especially if you are trying to discard inactives and such, but it works.

  Yes, the game client sorting is o.k., but we've had to struggle exclusively with the other version very long, and that is the tool to me - there are the tools, a better oversight etc.

  This is a basic algorithm of computing - done in perfection even in DOS 0.7! To me, it seems harder to do it wrong!

  If you do copy and paste the data into Excel, the dates can be converted into a date format that Excel can sort, by using the text to columns command.

  Thanks for the reminder, Scott!

  Alas, this is not quite "as a charm" to me - additional effort.

  You're welcome Alosso, but don't forget the saying, "If you don't use it, you'll lose it".  : )

  Had to look that one up: "Wer rastet, der rostet" in German ;)

  And I'm losing it because I used to be confronted with that problem when storing my scores for average calculation. I stopped that quite a while ago, after saturating as a Legend - I'm gonna stay in this tier eternally ;)
