Order of games displayed on schedule.

satchel · 07-20-2008, 04:55 AM

In my game, on the schedule page, the games aren't listed in order of start time. The games are grouped by league (there are two).

In my schedule file, on every game day, the games are listed in order of start time.

How can I control the order in which the games appear on my in-game schedule screen?

I don't think you can, you're stuck with whatever method OOTP uses to order the display of games. I'm not sure what that method is...

Thanks LGO.

By the way, if you personally control one of the teams, its games are supposed to appear first on one of the schedule screens, I forget which.

I'm trying to figure out the pattern. I thought maybe it shows the games in order of the "team number" of the home or away team. There's some algorithm ordering the games, based on data in the schedule file. Surely it's not random.

The schedule didn't seem to have my personal team's game listed first every day.

I never actually looked closely at it, but my impression was that it goes by the order of how the games are listed in the schedule file. Note that for each season the teams are swapped around the schedule, so which teams participate in a scheduled matchup change each year.

Personally, I'd like to see time zone support added to the schedules, and then games could be listed in a simple chronological order, or chronologically by subleague.

That's probably the key. I wasn't thinking about that when I was examining the schedule file, I was equating the clubs with their permanent "team numbers." (Which I didn't see any evidence of, but I assumed that the game assigned these numbers in the same way that 6.5 did.)
