SortPriority field (RunnerCatalog)

[betdynamics]

If there is a non-runner, does the SortPriority field change in the RunnerCatalog?

Hi betdynamics,

Yes, the sortPriority field will change for the non-runner (and other runners) in RunnerCatalog.

The non-runner will be displayed at the bottom of the existing set of runners. e.g. in an original field of 8 runners, a single nonrunner would have sortPriority = 8

Thanks

Thanks.

Shouldn't the SortPriority therefore be part of the "Runner" type as it is dynamic data [in addition to being part of "RunnerCatalog"]?

Hi Alistair,

Thanks for your feedback.

This wasn't as part of the "Runner" type, because it only changes in these circumstances. In US racing non-runners stay in the same order for the sake of consistency. In the majority of markets the sortPriority remains constant throughout the lifetime of a market.

Let me know if there is a specific case where the lack of the sortPriority in the "Runner" type could cause an issue.

Thanks

No worries - I can see that the SortPriority is "less dynamic" so I can always get the revised order from RunnerCatalog if I need to get hold of it.
