#19973 Sort function for cars idea

Would it be possible to add other sort options for the list of cars? I couldn't see that this had already been requested.

The reason behind this is that it would enable the user to quickly compare cars and choose those with similar performance in a race.

Ideally it would be great if this was based on fastest lap times for each track but I appreciate this introduces another variable into the sorting function and therefore complicates things.

I wonder if it would be possible to do it by the other data the system records on performance: 

% laps in the lead

% race wins

% poles in qualifying

Would be interested to see what others think and whether this would be possible.

Cheers

Johnny

Fantastic idea! Great for modified cars

I understand the idea and see the value, but the data you're suggesting as sort parameters is not actually available as a car attribute but is collected dynamically in the cars profile. This means that in order to be able to sort the cars list by one of these parameters, the data would need to be collected when ever the list is rendered, which would cause increased loading times, especially for big list of cars.

I would suggest to go another route (this is actually how I do it myself): You classify by performance and then create categories for these performance groups (e.g. "Tier 1", "Tier 2" and so on). You can then filter the cars list using these categories.

Hope this helps.
