Is there a way of getting a custom column to display the markets’ sport ie. soccer, racing, basketball etc to allow sorting based on sport please? Thank you!

Depending on your list of sports there might be a way to do it using a mix of text conditions and stored values.

eg you could identify horse racing and greyhound racing using a 'distance' condition and whether it is set to go in-play or not. Football/basketball by testing markets that have " v " in the market name, and whether or not there is a 'moneyline' market, or testing against a list of competitions.

There's probably a way to identify all sports separately in different ways, but it might get complicated.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
I already tried the distance for racing and that works, but it never occurred to me to find unique aspect in the markets of the others, that’s a great idea, thank you!
