In Play Trader question - "Sort by Custom Ranking" (Drop Down Menu)

Could you advise how I can lock the sort order by Back Price (Ascending) at the very moment a race goes "In Play" ?

In effect, a snapshot of the market

TIA

Wouldn't be much point in doing that as 90% of the money disappears when its turned in play it would be a lottery which would have the lowest odds with money still waiting and being kept in the market

You would be better using the SP price which you could do one of 2 ways

1) Create a rules file to store them in order of actual SP in custom column 1 - then set that as your sort method in the in-play trader

2) On your one click screen enable the 'Actual SP' column, then click the column header to sort using the SP price, then on the in-play trader screen select 'Sort to match One-Click screen'

Can't find "Actual SP" Column in the "Column Selection Box" there's BSP1 & BSP2

I may be missing something perhaps?

"Actual SP" is available to select in the custom column editor on the one-click screen.
