### 4/5 — Works for scoring drills

*2021-06-29*

As a coach I like how easy it is to add and subtract points for players during practice. Just wish there was a quick way to sort from highest to lowest, lowest to highest, and alphabetically.

**Developer response:** Hi coach, thanks for using the App. I appreciate the feedback, and I just made an update that supports sorting by score. For alphabetically, you would have to do that manually by holding and dragging the players still, but I’ll work on adding that soon. Hopefully you’re still finding it useful.
