Sort Functionality on Recently Retired Players Page

[HoustonGM]

I have the game set to delete retirees that never reached the majors, but when I view the Recently Retired players prior to season's end, it includes all those players. Without sort functionality of the stats, it's tedious to look through to review long time MLB players. After proceeding to the offseason, the list is manageable, but only shows players that retired after the season - any that retired during the season or at the end prior to proceeding to the offseason aren't shown (though they are shown prior to the offseason in the cluttered list). It's odd to me that the stats on that page aren't sortable.

there's a recently retired and a retired list isn't there?

as of '18 you could definitely sort it and view all the various stats -- career, postseason etc.. drop down list. this isn't somethign i do often, but definitely have done without a problem... even if memory fails me, otherwise, about hte details.

i've gone through and deleted any batters with no playing time in the mlb... mlb service time means they "mad the mlb". i, too, have the 'delete those that don't make MLB checked" in the past... nowadays i just don't worry.

they don't take up any space by themselves. tehy dont' slow the game down during 99% of its use. you end up accidentally deleting players that may be scrubs but invovled in records, etc etc etc. hornet's nest for no reason other than OCD -- at least for me.

excluding putting db into ram, it literally sits there unused/processed for the most part.

You can sort the Retired list, yes, but unless I'm missing it, there's no way to sort by date retired. I like to review the outgoing players. A sort on the "recently retired" page would let me sort by games, for example, so I can take a look at the players that actually had substantial MLB time without having to slog through all the minor league retirees.
