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. That’s 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. That’s probably something to do with deciding which event is a player’s ‘most recent’ event, which is a little complicated, especially when events arrive not in chronological order. (Right now MUIR doesn’t seem to show when the event was rated, though I assume there’s a timestamp field somewhere in the database for that, it just isn’t 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 “most recent on top” 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 that’s what’s happening on MUIR, that’s no change.
MSA (on the left) had everything correct, “most recent on top; later rated on top”.
MUIR (shown on the right) had it incorrect, “earlier rated on top“
Ah, I was thinking of the ‘show all sections’ option on the crosstable display. I’ve passed this on to the developers. BTW, they fixed the problem with showing all those ratings on the player ‘more’ option.
I actually found two possibly related issues with the more tab ordering, and I’ve sent a detailed message to the developers.
