Multikey mania mapsets look really disorganized because all diffs are thrown in one pile regardless of keymode.

Request: In mapsets that contain more than one keymode, diffs should be split into separate groups for each key spread.

Specifically, within a mapset, diffs should be sorted by key amount first and by difficulty second. For both song selection and web view, preferably.



Like the different game modes whose spreads are split in the same way, mania diffs of different keymodes have very little in common with each other and the star rating doesn't provide an appropriate comparison between them. Moreover, players usually have a certain keymode in mind that they're interested in playing at the time, so grouping those diffs together makes sense. Each keymode is and should be treated as its own, isolated difficulty spread.

The ranking criteria already acknowledges this difference and requires each keymode to be treated as a separate spread. Implementing the same structure in the mapset presentation would be more useful and reinforce that idea, but instead all diffs are just thrown in one pile and sorted by star rating.

This makes mania sets with two or more keymodes look very, very messy and it becomes unnecessarily bothersome to find the difficulty you're looking for.

To provide an example, with a proper separation of keymodes the difficulty spread of Sakura Reflection could be turned from this:


to this, which I think would make it more obvious which difficulties belong to each key spread.

The bigger the mapset, the worse it gets. Finding the right diff for the right keymode without filters on a mapset like Happy End of the World ingame is way harder than it should be, because beyond approximate difficulty there is no obvious structure to how and in what order the difficulties are arranged. Go download the mapset and scroll through the list, I dare you.

good idea

Nice! Looks pretty good

You can always use keys=4 to search a map and sort by mode. That works well for me.
