SortPriority from API does not match website.

[rwb]

The API is giving different values for a runner's SortPriority than the website.

For example in market
https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plu...et/1.154380221

Runner Zero Point is in position 2 but the API is reporting SortPriority 1.

[jabe]

Does the API report something in SortPriority 0?

[rwb]

In this example the API gives value 1 but the website is showing that runner in position 2.

[jabe]

I understand that; some arrays start their numbering from 0 rather than from 1, so are all the values different by the same amount and are any of the values zero?

[rwb]

This is not array numbering.

In this market
https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plu...et/1.154495895
runner Skip To My Lou is in position 5 on the website but the API give SortPriority of 1

[rwb]

I think it's sorting by price instead of by card

[rwb]

By the looks of it the number on the card is property CLOTH_NUMBER_ALPHA in the metadata.

Is any of this documented anywhere?

[jabe]

The RUNNER_METADATA fields are listed about 6 pages from the end of the offline documentation PDF.

If you haven't got the PDF, this link should get it: https://docs.developer.betfair.com/p...pageId=4392320.
