When you go to an individual players tournament history players that have played in more that one section in a tournament have the sections listed out of order.
example of Aiden Huand #31903628
For 2025-11-08 Section 10 was rated after Section 7.
For 2025-10-10 Section 8 was rated after Section 5.
If the starting and ending dates are the same for multiple sections, those sections are rated in section number order. Thatâs always been the case.
What appears to not be happening is finding the section 1 rating when rating section 2 as the next event in sequence when a player was in both sections. Thatâs probably something to do with deciding which event is a playerâs âmost recentâ event, which is a little complicated, especially when events arrive not in chronological order. (Right now MUIR doesnât seem to show when the event was rated, though I assume thereâs a timestamp field somewhere in the database for that, it just isnât appearing on the displayed event.)
https://ratings.uschess.org/event/202511090643?section=10 (2025/11/09) happens after and is rated after https://ratings.uschess.org/event/202511090643?section=7 (2025/11/08) .
Therefore, in the display, section=10 should appear on top of section=7 , as everything else on the page is in the âmost recent on topâ order. But, in the display, section=10 appears below section=7 and it confuses the scholastic players and their parents.
Hopefully this explains the issue clearer.
On MSA, sections of an event always appeared in section number order, so if thatâs whatâs happening on MUIR, thatâs no change.
MSA (on the left) had everything correct, âmost recent on top; later rated on topâ.
MUIR (shown on the right) had it incorrect, âearlier rated on topâ
Ah, I was thinking of the âshow all sectionsâ option on the crosstable display. Iâve passed this on to the developers. BTW, they fixed the problem with showing all those ratings on the player âmoreâ option.
I actually found two possibly related issues with the more tab ordering, and Iâve sent a detailed message to the developers.
