Is there a way to sort runs of the game in chronological order rather than time? I am an AP Research student looking to compare the growth of the speedruns over time and would like a faster way of looking at the information instead of doing it all by hand.

the site makes the WR progression history of the catgory, but i don't think you can sort every single run existing by date

You can use the API to collect all runs, you should be able to use that with a bit of code to sort it all. https://github.com/speedruncomorg/api
