Blocked Bidder List is showing User IDs out of order

Unfortunately, on my selling ID I get a lot of requests to slash my prices by 50% or more (typically with some sob story attached...).  My listings sell very well at their current prices and don't have best offer option so this earns them an immediate block. 

 

I just visited my blocked bidder list and noticed the page looks different...  The User IDs on the list are no longer being displayed in alphabetical order which makes it virtually impossible to see if you already have a user on your list or not.

 

I thought maybe it was now displaying in the order they were added to the list so as a test I added to the list and closed the page.  After opening a new page I went back to the list and after scrolling through hundreds of lines I still couldn't find that ID I had just added...

 

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any option to sort the IDs from the jumbled mess they are currently displayed to being alphabetical again (although I can't why you'd need to have an option to sort anyway since what better order to display is there than alphabetical...LOL)

 

Is anyone else having this issue?

Same mess here. You can use CTRL F to bring up the search function to find a specific ID.

 

You can probably copy the mess into a word processor and alphabetize the list and then paste it (overwrite) the mess.  take proper precautions to keep the list in case something blows up.

Actually I think everyone is seeing it, if they go to their Blocked Bidder List page (here).

 

It appears that another untested update has escaped into the wild. This new revision failed to add a space after each comma separator, and the page display does not break lines on commas alone; a space must follow.

 

In addition to that, the default sort order is no longer alphabetical, but appears to be by each member's internal ID number, not by their member name, so the oldest members appear first in the list; members who joined eBay later have higher internal ID numbers and thus appear later in the list.

 

To see this effect, open a new browser window and go to your own feedback page, so that your username is visible in the browser address line at the top of your screen. Now replace your username in that address line with the first name from your Blocked Bidder List, press Enter, and when that person's feedback page appears, look to see what date is showing on their "Member since" line. Repeat the process with the second name from your BBL, and so on. You should see that they are ordered by the date that they first joined eBay, oldest first.

 

This will probably be brought up at tomorrow's Weekly Chat, although there is no telling how long it will be before this is fixed. There doesn't seem to be any difference in resolution time between easy fixes and difficult ones, and no updates on when any can be expected.
