Is there any option to sort runs by date submitted in the verification queue?

We have a very active game with 50-100+ submissions a day right now. We're trying to keep things fair and verify in order by date of submission, but we can only see runs by date of the run being played.

So someone can come along and submit a run today, claim it was played 20 days ago, and based on our system, this would technically prioritize their run. It adds an extra layer of work to the moderators in "keeping it fair".

We actually technically missed a run as far back as the 19th, because the person kept editing their submission with their new PB, which changed the date and pushed them "back" in the queue. I've suggested to the user to not do that for now.

If this isn't an option now, what would it take to make this a feature for the really active games with a heavy amount of submissions?

One would argue that editing your run should push it back, but it shouldn't be an option for someone to sneakily prioritize their run by claiming its 3 days old and sandwiching it in towards where the "priority" is in the queue. Pretty broken when a game gets this active.

The time when a run was submitted is saved, so that shouldn't be too hard of a thing to implement. I don't know about edits right now (that'd either be a seperate value or overriding the submission date).

If a run was legitimately played 20 days prior to submission, is it really that unfair to give it that priority tho? The person has already waited that long to even submit it, probably just gave up on improving their PB again anytime soon, waiting even longer due to newer runs adds even more time where that PB could get improved, making the submission obsolete, while it might still be in the queue.

Arguably people shouldn't be putting an incorrect date as when a run was played due to potential rule changes since then that may or may not be applying to them, if you really want to enforce that in order to have a more accurate queue in the meantime (kinda tricky with offline runners ofc) is your decision, sounds like a mess to me tho.

I have no problems personally with someone that legit did a run 20 days beforehand. It's just causing an organization mess when runs are popping in and out.

I don't want to enforce incorrect dates either. I guess we'll continue working on a solution. Hopefully this is something that can be added in the future -- would definitely be handy!
