Ordering the List

By default competitions on this list are listed in descending order of closing dates for each competition, and you will see 'Title desc' appears in the Order window.

The drop down menu provides four other sequences that you are free to use, these are -

• Title Asc: this reverses the default order and lists competitions in ascending order of closing date.
  
• Ordering: this lists the competitions in the order they were added to or updated in the list. Therefore those added or updated recently will appear at the top. If you haven't looked at the list for a while this order would let you see the most recent changes at the top of the list.
  
• Hits asc: This lists the competitions such that those with the highest hit rate appear at the top of the list.
• Hits desc: This lists the competitions such that those with the lowest hit rate appear at the top of the list.
