    Am I blind or is it not obvious what I'm looking at, because I don't see anything wrong here

    The skills should be sorted as follow:
    1. ">>" Greatly stronger than you
    2. ">" Stronger than you
    3. "=" Same skill as you
    4. "<" Weaker
    5. "<<" Mostly weaker

    And not
    1. "=" Same skill as you
    2. "<" Weaker
    3. "<<" Mostly weaker
    4. ">>" Greatly stronger than you
    5. "<<" Mostly weaker

    At least that's how I think it should be.

    yes indeed "Hellarious Basterds" Server is not sorted correctly in this example. The server should be at the bottom / top.

    Isn't the idea to list the servers matching your Hive rating first as those should, in theory, be the best for you?

    Yes it is, but for that we would need to rename the skill column, or add an other sort option.

    I still think it's working as intended. It's sorting the servers by how well they match your rating.

    Even by that sort definition, it's not really sorting correctly. Look closer at the red servers: The servers that have way less skill than you should be at the bottom / top. Not somewhere in between those that have more skill than you.

    It doesn't matter if they are rated higher or lower than your own hive rating. The idea is to list the servers closest to your own hive score first.

    Ah I see. Thats pretty counterintuitive though, as a software engineer that is... If you sort by "skill" column it's supposed to sort descending or ascending the value it represents, not by absolute difference imo.

    The servers you highlighted have an average hive rating far from your own and therefore they are at the bottom of the list.
