hello there, thanks for your help. by the way, i've been wondering what it means by '...regardless of how many fields are in "ordering" the admin site uses only the first field'.
the "first field" in my example is the 'lastname' although it does not seem the data are ordered by the field. whenever i make changes to the players, the player most recently edited player always goes to the bottom of the list. is there any way to fix this? thanks very much.
