Hey all, I moderate quite a few communities and have noticed that the Moderates list has gotten very wonky. It used to be alphabetical but now it just seems random?

Chronological perhaps? By the date joined? Or maybe by size/activity?

Edit: or maybe one of the other during methods within each instance, with the instances ordered as well?

doesn't seem to be the case, lots of my brand new communities are mixed into the middle

I'd say it might be random, but random is actually pretty hard to do in programming, lol.

Probably by activity/size or ordered by instance (which is obvs not shown in this view) and then ordered within each instance (which could look random)

If the primary key in the db is a non number like a guid, then the sorting is basically random
