Affiliated Teams showing up out of order

[bp_]

See the bottom right-hand corner of this pic. Is there a way to fix this or is it a bug? I created this fictional league with the newest version (pre 1.0.3) version of OOTP06. The order for most of the teams is Majors, AAA, AA, A but as you can see here AAA and AA are out of order.

this has been a huge annoyance for me. I made a thread about it a few days ago and no one has responded to it here. Is anyone else annoyed by this? Why is it happening? Can we fix it?

Done some testing...this seems to happen when a team's minor league affiliations are created out of order. The easiest case is when you create e.g. the affiliated Double-A league before the Triple-A league...all teams will have their affiliates listed in the wrong order, then.

Unfortunately, that's not the only way to create that. It also happens when you manually change minor league affiliations. Here's an example:

Your major league has 4 teams, Major-A through Major-D. You add a Triple-A league, followed by a Double-A league. Now, imagine OOTP auto-affiliated your Triple-A teams like this:

AAA-1 --- Major-A
AAA-2 --- Major-B
AAA-3 --- Major-C
AAA-4 --- Major-D

If you try to switch affiliations for Major-A and Major-B, one team will temporarily have two AAA affiliates, e.g. the first change would lead to:

AAA-1 --- Major-B
AAA-2 --- Major-B
AAA-3 --- Major-C
AAA-4 --- Major-D

and the second to:

AAA-1 --- Major-B
AAA-2 --- Major-A
AAA-3 --- Major-C
AAA-4 --- Major-D

When you start the game, Major-B will display its affiliates in the wrong order, i.e. the Double-A team first, while Major-A will be okay. Major-C and Major-D are okay, too, of course, because you didn't change anything for them.

The problem seems to be that, for a moment, Major-B's affiliate chain was (AAA-2, Double-A team, AAA-1), and when removing AAA-2, the game doesn't move AAA-1 into its spot.

It would be nice if there was something built into the code to resort this.

well now that makes much more sense.... This has got to be fixed. However, its basically being ignored by everyone in every thread about it.
