I am going to copy this to wesnoth-dev as this may be of wider interest in the Wesnoth developer community.

Yes, I want to update it for 1.4. As part of this I want to switch over to the more modern python scripts Eric wrote rather than using the unsupported perl scripts from when I first did this. Also some things are changing with the latest campaign server and I need to look at that issue as part of this. Really it would be best for the web interface and the campaign server to be in the same place, but that probably won't happen on the next go around. There is certainly going to be some default sort. And I can't see that it would ever be based on downloads. Alphabetical or update time seem more useful in general. The timing of this is uncertain. Some things that have been taking up my time have completed recently and this is on my list of projects to start actively working on again. But I can't promise something will get completed soon. I am never going to use javascript in my web pages. It is a security problem for people to turn on javascript and I am not going to encourage people to enable it. Web browsers should be providing a way to sort tables without needing support (under than the HTML table definitions) in the web page. I don't know if any do this in practice though. The information is there, you would just need to indicate to the web browser which column to sort on and how to treat the data for the sort (e.g. numerical or lexical). > I am recoding the wesnoth ladder ATM, and its always bugged me that I can't > sort the wesnoth addons by downloads :) You can sort by downloads. Click on the word "Downloads". The list will still be grouped by 1.2.x and 1.3.x, but will be sorted within that group. _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
