Wall Chart Formatting
Control how the wall chart appears on screen and in print.
Access: Options → Formatting → Wall Chart tab (or right-click in the wall chart for quick options)
Sort Order
Primary sort — Choose how players are ordered:
- Standings — Sort by score, then by configured tiebreaks. Recommended after pairing to confirm SwissSys made correct choices.
- Pair number — Sort by assigned pair number
- Alphabetical, Rating, etc. — Other available orderings
Secondary sort — When players share the same primary sort value, choose between pair number order or score (rank) order. This setting also affects the standings view.
After pairing a round, try sorting by Standings with no tiebreaks active. This confirms the validity of pairing choices — tiebreaks do not affect pairings, only standings order.
