There's been a few updates to the site today.

One change you'll notice is the entered page containing your giveaway entries has been split into two sections, Open and All, for performance reasons. The page will now load far quicker for anyone with a high number of entries. These sections can be accessed using the dropdown in the top right of the entered page. The Open page will display all of your open entries, ordered by the end date of the giveaway. Similar to before, this will allow you to see what entries are ending next, and if you need extra points, you can remove entries from giveaways further down the list that are not ending for a while. Then as the name suggests, the All page will display all of your giveaway entries, ordered by the time of entry. This will be useful if you accidentally enter a giveaway and need to quickly find your last entry. The page also displays the number of points beside each entry now, since I've seen users request that feature a number of times.

Other updates to the site today were also to help improve load times. All pages across the site will load about 50-150ms faster, so it'll feel a little more responsive when you're browsing.

I'm adding my voice to that of eeev and JohnWickTheQuick because I can't get used to the new sorting order for the All option and it's bugging me a lot.

I'd love for there to be an option to sort all giveaways by their end date, just like it worked before, unless there are performance or technical implications that make it difficult to implement.

I agree with this suggestion unless there are some performance issues.

How it is right now is better than before. One option shows wich giveaway ends soon, the other one shows what you have entered recently. I don't understand why would people want to see giveaways that have ended recently.

I'm not proposing to change or remove the current options, only to add a 3rd option to make it work like it used to before.

Sometimes I like to revisit recently ended giveaways to check up on comments, to see who won or how many entries there were. Apparently, a few other folks think that it's useful too. I don't see any harm in adding more options.

You can do that in All, I still don't understand why do you need a list of recently ended giveaways, that you have entered.

Because it's hard to find the one giveaway you want to check up on in the current "All" tab, since it's sorted in a weird way

Makes a lot more sense than before. Personally I have never had the idea, to check who won on a giveaway that wasn't made by me. I just don't understand.

One reason is to see what games were on GAs in the past to hunt for cheap keys of that games on greymarkets.

I have never worked with php, but I think you need considerable cpu time + caching to generate these lists. The old list was loading really slow, this one is faster and more useful.

I don't know if it's just me, but actually the last few days the loading times seem to be slower (again).

Since the thread's been bumped I'd like to request again, backed up by other people's wishes to please bring back the sorting of ended giveaways like it was before. There's something missing to this site for me since it's gone, since it's such a hassle to find old entered giveaways now.
Can't be that hard to implement, since that's how it has always been.
PLEASE!
