Order of Players on Team Pages
There has been an unforeseen development since adding drag-and-drop to Team pages on Kilg.us. The purpose of drag-and-drop was to easily move players on an off the bench. Drag-and-drop also lets you change the order in which players are listed on your team page. A number of people have noticed that, after they re-order their players, that order isn’t maintained when they reload the page.
Kilg.us does not keep a record of the order you place your players in–it only tracks whether they are on or off the bench. When you load your team page, your players will always display in scorecard order–Catcher, 1st Base, 2nd Base, 3rd Base, Shortstop, Left Field, Center Field, Right Field. If you have multiple players at a position, they will be in alphabetical order based on last name, then first name. The position for a player is based on what MLB lists as the player’s primary position. This may or may not match up with the position qualifications for players in your league.
MLB doesn’t differentiate relief and starting pitchers, so they are all listed alphabetically–again by last name, then first name.
As time allows, I will look into letting Kilg.us monitor the order players are dragged into. For the immediate future, other features are priority.
