So there's a mapset with its difficulties all in harmony in the listing.
But these aren't the latest and greatest... two of them have updates available! So let's fix that. I update [Firestarter].
Then I exit the song select and come back...
And this difficulty has been shifted to the bottom! Let's go update another map. How about this one?
Again, a simple exit/enter is all it takes.
And if I update the other difficulty of Firestarter, it now looks like this. Unless I resort to deleting and redownloading entire mapsets every time or other similiar shenanigans, this gets to be a big clutter over time.
What I'd like is for an update to any difficulty within the mapset to cause the entire mapset to shift to the bottom of this sort the next time I open up.
As for BPM and Length sort, the same thing happens. You can observe either one with
Click Clock Wood. Sorting by the highest BPM/Length in the mapset seems like the thing more people would care about to me. This would put
The Unforgiving at the bottom of everyone's length sort unless they have some freakish map that's even longer. Sorting by low values has merit, too, though. You could use that to find
the Insane difficulty in VIVID, for example. For BPM in particular, probably go with the lowest/highest average BPM so you don't get the extremes cluttered with maps where one difficulty uses red sections for slider speed changes.
I wish more people who use these sorts would have spoken up in the thread... maybe there aren't that many. A "what sort do you typically use" poll would be cool...
