Bjorn, Thanks for your feedback!
Like you've suggested, I've often thought about auto-sorting the listings with newer or recently modified listings at the top of categories and older stale listings being sent to the bottom of the categories, but that would negatively affect the alphabetical sorting which makes specific items easier to find. I think most people expect the listings in portal directories like RBGarage.com and VersionTracker.com to be alphabetically sorted. As for listing version info, I have mixed feelings about that since developers do not seem to stay on top of their listings, so with version info listed, many of the listings would become outdated way too quickly for no reason. I'll give this some more thought... Thanks! :-) Regards, Dave Wooldridge RB Garage http://www.RBGarage.com ------------------------------------------ on 12/5/06 9:55 AM, Björn Eiríksson wrote: >> And who would spend their precious time constantly reviewing the >> 1,000's of >> listings every week to make sure they are not obsolete or >> unsupported?
