The logic of display order is modified to the
following:
Sort by ID
Treat write-in as normal candidate, and
sort all candidates by their sort
sequences. The sort sequences of all candidates can be set in
GEMS.
Sort by Rank
If there is no vote at all, it would be same as
Sort by ID. That's why we need sort
sequence.
Otherwise it is sort by number of votes. All
candidates within the same rank are then sort by their sort
sequences.
Sort by Name
Sort by the candidate names, and the write-in is
always left at bottom, if any.
This will be the behavior for the next
release.

Subject: JResultClient version 1:
Displays write-in in the middle of the candidates.
JResultClient
version 1
Problem: If the
candidates do not have any votes and the race has more than one candidates,
the write-in is displayed not at the beginning nor at the end but in the
middle of the candidates. If there are only one candidate in the race,
the write-in is displayed as the first candidate.
Conditions: (1) a race
with more than one candidates
(2) no votes for any of the candidates
(3) JResultClient:
sort by rank
For
example, consider the following:
Governor - DEM
Vote for
One
Gray Davis
Write-in
Charles Pineda, Jr
Harry Thomas
Request: On zero
votes, position write-in consistently - whether it be at the top or
bottom.
