Sorting dates, least to highest, earliest to latest, etc is easy enough while using the search pairings function. Entering those into a bid is where it becomes labor intensive. Depending on priorities in a month, one is sometimes left to sort through 100+ pairings and then order those in some way that works best for them and then entering those ordered pairings one at a time into a bid line. I'd be interested if you had any tips on streamlining that process.
You don't have to input them one at a time. I'll make another standalone post soon with some screenshots--if I can figure it out--showing the process.
