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

OK, I use normally (at work) IE 8.0.
The sorting with drag and drop does often not work.
The selected line doesn't move an spot while moving the mouse up or down the draft board. It seems like the move script is blocked or does not activate. I don't know. Result is, that I have to pick the same entry between 1-10 times to get the line moved.
Additionally the dropping on the selected spot also doesn't work, even if the line is moving. Sometimes it stucks on its way and then I have to do the same thing again, only that the selected line is now a few spots lower or higher.

My suggestion for the sorting would be: add a number field to each line, from 1-96.
If the player is moved by drag and drop or the arrows, the numbers are changed (on the move or after it).
If the player puts in a different number and saves it, the existing sorting is adjusted and the line with the same number is down and all numbers are adjusted.

It would also be nice to have some kind of sorting on sorting functionality.
For example, sorting was by position, then sort by age and then by rating.
Or (and that is a whole different story) sorting on the rounds selected.
Like sorting by round 1, then round 2 and then round 3 and on top of THAT then a sorting by what ever need, like position, age and so on.

The only thing I think we need above what we have is being able to set a maximum number of a certain position for the first 2 rounds. The third round all best are off and you take the highest player left on your board.

All positions are default 1 but managers can set a position to 2 in a bid to say s e l e c t 2 wideouts in the first 2 rounds. Also if a manager leaves QB's as max one and he gets a QB in round one QB's are ignored for round 2.

You don't want or need players of a certain position place them all at the bottom but unless your drafting high there's a good chance you'll end up with one anyway. This would be the case no matter what system we used.

I agree with jack6, have an option to set the draft position by number would be terrific in terms of saving time.

My suggestion is you change your browser to Firefox

I have a problem like Jack described when I'm using Firefox. Last season I wasn't able to get the draft board to scroll up or down when I was dragging a player up or down my board. I could only move him to the top or bottom of the page visible on the screen.

Still that way today.

Thanks.

The new draftboard seem to be a good solution, because the handling should be a little bit easier. Unfortunatly I sorted my draftboard yesterday with the old system

Should I scramble it a bit? So could do another run, using the newer draft board?

You could create a new Draftboard with new players.
