Jun. 30th, 2019 07:01 pmOkay, here's something that's been low-key bugging me for some time:
What order does the AO3 "assignments" page list the various things you're signed up for? It frustrates me that it doesn't put your open/unfilled assignments together at the top or bottom, because that would be really handy to be able to see at a glance. But I've been trying to figure out for years what criteria it's actually using to decide what order to put them in. It's not chronological. It's not alphabetical, at least not by anything that I've tried to make fit (exchange name, recipient name, fic name). It doesn't seem to be based on deadline date or word count or anything else.
Yet it can't be completely random because it always puts the same ones at the top. So what criteria is it using? Does anyone know?
ETA: Got an answer, thanks!
