cc members list

  Since the last upgrade and addition of countless changes the members list will not sort correctly in alphabetical order on username. It does it on windows, in  any browser, on a mac machine as well. Now don't tell me to clear cache and cookies and history because these do not have effect on a sort in any program or html code..

  Have you seen them working on it, Courteney? <g>

  Another user's workaround:
  Look into the new CC homepage in the game client => correct sorting by name AND by "Date last played"

  They know how to do it but they are afraid to show it ;)

  They just oopsed the query.  It's a 10 second fix.  More than likely it will be corrected on the next maintenance.

  I beg to differ.

  I wonder how and why they messed with the name sorting - it worked perfectly before the last update.

  And, the "last day played" sorting has been broken as long as I've been the CC owner - must be two years now.

  This "10 seconds fix" has been avoided too long to carry any hope for any "next" incidence.

  While it may take them two years, the fix is really simple.  I'm assuming they are using a SQL based database and doing data queries to build the CC member display.

  They would need to ORDER BY UCASE(Member_Name) ...

  I assume they are just doing .... ORDER BY Member_Name

  Tell me ... does that look like 2 years of programming to you, Alosso?

  Nope - a fix of the date sort should be even easier, just copy&paste from the correct (former) CC entry date sort.  It looks fairly difficult to mess this up as it is!

  But, having waited for two years (and more, dunno when this was first discovered) in vain for the date sort, I don't expect any "soon" for the name sorting.

  Problem with WGT is that the "start of work" date for such tasks defaults to the day of Sankt Nimmerlein (a well known saint in Germany), which is not before the Twelfth of Never.

  I don't know if the date in their database is an actual date or if it's just a text field.  What I see on the display is not a valid date format (mm.dd.yyyy).  I think that's another "space" issue ... like the one-byte array for one's friends list.

  To me, it's all about the money.  Instead of just upping the number of rounds, members have to get the CC to level 6 by using a CC Pass (2 free passes a day, but most will waste one in a hope to get the CC the maximum XP).  

  It's going to be a while before anyone gets to level 6.  Hopefully they have that programmed into the game already.  It would suck if some CC's get to level 6 then find that the extra games is a "future release" item too!

  I've got a different problem with my members' list - the last member (name beginning with Y) has dropped off the edge of the world.... anyone else had similar?
