Currently the giveaways created table is sorted based on endtime.
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/created

I however often create 25 giveaways at the same time, but strangely enough the sorting gets all messy then.
There does not seem to be a secondary sorting order. And the the giveaways are shown not in any order.

Can a second sort parameter be added to the SQL query to sort based on Game name (or creation time if game name is not possible)?
That way it's easier for me to go through my excel sheet and mark the games given and or add gift links.

Example:
ORDER BY endtime DESC, gamename

Good suggestion. Hope the sorting will be fixed one day.
Open GA-s are wrongly / randomly ordered on the Profile page too, not just the Created page.

yeah and it's pretty easy to fix too. Just add a small bit to the database queries.

I'm in charge of the spreadsheet in one of my groups and is a pain in the @$$ when giveaways are not sorted in the same order the creator posted them. In my case, I'd rather have them sorted by date created since it matches the same order as they were posted.

Indeed, I'm fine by that as well.
At least that would put some better order into it when giveaways have the same enddate.

Bump...
Still it's a big mess, while this is very easy to fix.
See screenshot where you can see there is no order in the giveaways, because they all ended at the same time.

Please add a second parameter to the sorting.

Trouble is that I use a script to post my giveaways (since I really post a lot of them).
Today I posted 80 new ones.
My script however is working in selenium and does not have the option to program variables that are +1 on each loop.

It's just very easy for the develop to make this change to his code and it would help me and other users a lot!

You do indeed make a lot of gibs .... I'm not much into scripts since I don't know how they work therefore I don't trust them but I guess better sorting method would be nice for ppl like you

Thank you, I never noticed that feature.
I don't see a option to sort based on creation datetime though....
If only the giveaways were just shown in the same order they were created.
