Maxxina, Paulo: Thanks for that flag tip - I never knew about that; it's a handy shortcut to what Paulo suggested. :-)

The request arose when looking at the Backgammon Ratings list. What I wanted was to see all the UK players and also to browse through and see how big a block each country had, and whatever else occurred to me.

Unfortunately, although the click-a-flag-to-sort works in the Players List, if done in the Backgammon Ratings list it doesn't sort that table but jumps to the Players List.

Summertop: I'll second all of your proposals.
1) I don't want to have to know the order of the game types when I'm looking for a game, I want to go to it alphabetically (especially as it's most often backgammon and will be at the top, lol).
2) Sorting tables by any column (especially with careful choices of secondary and tertiary sort keys) could be very handy/interesting.
3) Sort everything in site. To misuse that old military phrase: "If it moves, send it a message; it it doesn't, sort it!" ;-))
