The requested translations page lists all translations in source/ target pair in some order, probably in the order of date they were requested.

Well, there could be some more materialistic, "points-earned" oriented persons like me who wish to become cucumis millionaires. :-) I want to earn as many points as I can.

I was thinking if there could be a method of getting the "requested translation" list in the decreasing/ increasing order of POINTS-VALUE OF A TRANSLATION. That is, showing high value translation first (250, 150, 75, etc.) and showing low-points translations (7, 5, 4 etc.) at the end.

then, I can do high-points translations first and quickly become a millionaire. :-)

When I have less time, or am feeling not like putting too much efforts, I can go to the other end of the list and start doing least-value translations first, that will be mostly single words or small phrases.

Thanks.

That sounds possible.

Another option would be to keep the date order and adding a new condition on the translation value.
For example, only kep in the list the translation that costs over 50 points, over 100 points etc...
Points > 50
Points > 100
Points > 200
Points > 400
Points > 800

The second solution seems to be easier to implement. But maybe your solution is more efficient.

It will serve the purpose.

And it seems simpler to code as it will not necessitate keeping a separate index on point-values.

For that matter, a From:, Upto: RANGE of point-values can be presented for the user to fill in, and all requests in that range can be displayed.

say:
display Requested translation having value points
from: ____ upto: ______

The default values could "From: 0 Upto: Max", that will give us entire list as is presently displayed.

Someone might give some specific range say
"From: 100 Upto: Max" or
"From: 0 Upto: 25"
and translations having only those value-points become visible.

Whichever is the simplest to implement.
