  1. Jeff – not to add to your workload, but is there any way of creating and posting a sortable list by different variables? I’m imagining some kind of WordPress plugin for sorting tables using Java and/or Ajax that maybe somebody already built, ha ha.

    What I’m wanting to be able to do is sort by the last column, W, so I can see at a glance where the top 10 fall. I guess I could do this easily enough if I just copied and pasted into Excel – often a pain, but usually doable – or if I took the time to cook up a simple Python script to handle the paste-as-text instead of Excel. Unfortunately, since I don’t script much any more, and Python syntax has moved on in some odd ways since I used to use it regularly, “cooking up a simple Python script” would take a bunch of hours. Sigh – oh well, just a wish but not important. Thanks for the forecasts.

    1. That would be nice. It’s on my list to develop an easier way to make sortable tables (like the player pages on tennisabstract) on the fly, but my list is long…
