I think this might be a bug, if not it's almost certainly a design inconsistency ...maybe both. I'll post the facts and let Admin decide :-

If I go to Depth Chart and s e l e c t a position (TE, for example) ... on the left-hand side (under 'your roster') the TE's have all been brought to the top of the roster and then the display continues in 'alphabetical positional order' i.e all CB's followed by all DL's etc etc.
This is what I would expect, therefore 'working as intended' , but ....

If I s e l e c t 'HB' ........

All of my RB's are moved to the top of the 'your roster' (left-hand side) ...as expected

However, if I look further down .... the RB's are shown AGAIN in the list (i.e at the top and in the middle) after QB's and before SF's .... this is inconsistent compared with the behaviour for TE's, WR's etc ....

As far as I can see, this only seems to happen under the 'HB' position.
At first, I thought it might be because I have a large number of RB's ... but I have nearly as many WR's as RB's ...and it doesn't happen for WR's.



btw ... slightly off-topic, but .... I find the use of the terms 'HB' and 'RB' in RZA to be very inconsistent, the DC is a good example of this inconsistency.
In the DC, if you s e l e c t position 'HB' and look on the right-hand side you'll see all your RB's lined-up !

I personally would prefer to see the terms RB and FB used everywhere in RZA and the term 'HB' discarded to the dustbin of history.

At the moment there seems to be references to HB and RB, often on the same page, I just think it causes unnecessary confusion and it would be more consistent and aid clarity by using the same terminology throughout (including any references in the Manual also).

The RB's appearing twice while setting the Depth for the HB position is a display inconsistency bug by the looks.

As for the terms I've posted my ideas in the suggestions area.

A funny one, guess it's really related to the fact that the list will be "filtered" for HB so the RBs occur twice.
I like the idea of having a consistent naming, but I would prefer to use HB (instead of RB) and FB since both positions belong to the group of RBs.

That is my understanding, too.

HB + FB = RB

We won't change that again. There was a suggestion to rename from HB to RB, we followed it - but maybe missed one thing in the DC.
