When I go to My Snipes I have it set to Current, the list is shown with the next-to-end 1st in the list which seems the most logical.

Then, when I click on Ended | Won | Lost the order has the most recently finished at the bottom. This confuses me - it would make more sense if the most recent one was at the top...

I suggest that AS remembers the order we specify for each of these options or changes the order of the historic ones to show the most recent first.

What do other AS users think?

I think I agree.

Consider this scenario:
I have been away from my computer, but I know an auction or two has ended recently. I open My Snipes, then select Ended or maybe Won. Then I need to wait while the page loads, scroll down to the bottom, click on my last page of wins, wait while it loads, then scroll down to the bottom to check the last entry. Whew!

(OK, so it's not really hard and doesn't take too long. Still, it seems a bit awkward.)

If this were a handwritten list, naturally one would add new items at the bottom; our current configuration may be just a mental carry-over from that. For our purposes, though, perhaps it would make better sense to order the Ended, Won, Lost lists with the most recent first, as it would make for a more efficient process with fewer steps.

I presume changing that, or allowing that as a preference, would not be a difficult programming task. What would be more troublesome, because it introduces the possibility for fresh bugs and a rash of complaints, would be to add functionality to the You've Got Wins! message, so that to click on it would lead directly to a report of those recent wins. (But do we want a button that says [ I]You've Got Losses! [/I], now really? Bad idea.)

Having said all that in too many words, I must also say it is a minor quibble with me, not a grievance. Still, if the Powers That Be are asking for suggestions, go ahead and make this one. Makes sense to me!

That just doesn't sound right!

Yes, I agree, it should remain in the same sequence all the way through.

I'm not sure if we have the same thing in mind.

I envision the Active snipes being in chronological order and the Ended snipes being in reverse chronological order.

I picture it like a tall tower of blocks, being transferred one block at a time to another tower. What had been the top block of the first stack becomes the bottom block of the new stack.

Is that what you meant?

To put it simply, the one that just closed on the top of the page so you don't have to search to the bottom for it. The stuff that is far past at the bottom.

Yep!

Good idea, R2!

We're going to make some changes to this early next week.

That's a nice fast response to suggestions! Thanks!

It's already done, but we didnt want to release it on a Friday evening. So we're waiting till Monday afternoon so we can make sure to fix anything if it doesnt work quite right.

Thanks, Sara!
