the export to Excel feature worked great. And I massaged the heck out of the data. Oh, yeah.

But once I had sorted them on my in-game Draft Board I was afraid of losing the order by using one of the in-game sort options.

Why did you want to sort them again on the draft board?

Umm. No good reason, actually, just because I like fooling around with everything? Also, suppose someone accidentally (or drunkenly) hit one of the resort options after getting his Board set.

I actually typed each player's rank into the optional field, but I think that's just for supporters, and I don't recall that it can be sorted on (Season 1 draft results are still up, and it's hard for my tired old brain to recall details....)

Actually, I have thought of a reason....re-sorting makes you look at them differently, and sometimes you see something with a fresh eye....it's a bit like walking around a chess board - I would see something from the side that I didn't notice sometimes, as the board would reveal itself differently. Does that make any sense?

Makes sense.

I suggested a SANDBOX on the test server, but Peter said, it would be a whole new ajax project.

I think a feature to fix the order, let them sort any way and then let them realine to the fixed order would be great.

Bump.

Anyone having additional comments about this?

I think all need features are in.
We can discuss the team need list, but I think there must be a priority to the positions linked.

I thought that the original draft system was simple enough and OK. The simple 1-96 ranking will still work for me for the next draft.
However, as we have more drafts coming up and more of our position needs will have been filled, a new system would be welcome.

Since some people had trouble with the current system, I agree with Lee1950 that simple is best. The team need list or a variation of the slot idea could work out.

In any case, whatever is decided is fine with me, and I am willing to help out with the English version of the description in the manual and on the draft page.

Just stick with the system as it is right now for the next draft.

Cause i am still in the opinion that who ever i get, he would be better then what i got.

For further Drafts i think there should be something like a priority list in any way.

OK, I put away the dust from my suggestion and bring this up again.

Why?

Because I'm mad with the current system, that's why.

I know, that not all managers have problems with the current system, but I always have. The sorting by mouse drag and drop only works 1 out of 5 trys and I still miss sorting mechanism, to avoid extensive drag and drop sessions.

Anyone else having problems with the drag and drop stuff?

Honestly I haven't seen problems in sorting the draft board yet.
What kind of problems do you see (using what browser)?

And what suggestions do you have how sorting would be more easy & comfortable? I'm sure in the area of the draft board is plenty room of improvement but as long as we don't know how it would really be better it's hard to implement something
