It looks like the only format I can use to print the roster is last name aphabetically. I can sort the list differently on screen, but I can't print what I see. I'd like to either have more flexibility in what I print, or have a way to export to Excel, where I can play with it more. I like the idea of just using A*.net for the roster, rather than "keeping two sets of books" - one on A*.net and one on my personnel spreadsheet, but we need more flexibility with "views" and printing.
I hope you're still having fun with this!
Its a fabulous tool for us coaches!
Thanks!

Ken,
Ok, I get it now :) I had typed up a response, then saw what you are doing. You're clicking on 'Print Athlete Information' to print the entire roster? If so, then yes, that appears to not take the sorting options. I've added that to our feature request list.
While there isn't an explicit Export to Excel yet, you can select the text and copy to Excel. I just tried that, and apparently Firefox does not copy Carriage returns/line feeds as it didn't work as expected; it just pasted a long string into a single cell in Excel. I'm not sure if there's something we can do to make that work better in Firefox, or if it's a Firefox 'feature'.
Copying from IE to Excel worked fine though.

If you have problems copying stuff into Excel, a good workaround is to copy it into a text editor first, then copy that into Excel. Excel can be very finicky about formatting, and a text editor will remove any such stuff. I just tried it with the athlete list taken from Firefox and it worked fine.
