If you have multiple scoreboards, can you control their order?
Currently I'm creating a Dream with 3 scoreboards, which I want to appear in a certain order on the cover page. I've saved this privately online and the scores are all posting correctly, however I can't find any additional options to customise them, except for the 'Edit Scoreboard' page, which is just for parameters such as the units.
What I don't understand is how the order is automatically assigned in the first place. In order of appearance (from centre page going right) the titles of my scoreboards begin with 'R' then 'T' then 'Q'. This is not alphabetical, so there must be another factor in play here.
I've tested using Timer gadgets to delay the posting of a score in a certain order, however this had no effect. I've also tried deleting and remaking the scoreboards in a specific order, yet this still didn't work. For each test, I did delete all the scoreboards on the Dream before proceeding.
Does anyone have a suggestion about where I can go from here, or am I going to be stuck with my scoreboards in a sub-optimal order?

Whoops, in the second to last paragraph, I was meant to say: * I've also tried deleting and remaking the Score gadgets in a specific order.
(just for clarification) -
Not sure on this one. For each test did you use a completely fresh dream? The scoreboards are stored in the cloud per dream, this may have some effect on the changes you made actually doing anything or not.

No, I reused the same one. I'll try some more testing with a black scene and Dream later, unless anyone can clarify before then how the Scoreboards work.

After some further testing, I'm non the wiser to how the order of Scoreboards is decided. I made a brand new test Dream and scene, where I've used 10 Score gadgets, each with a different letter as a name. I gave them values of 1 - 10 in reverse alphabetical order. To make them post, I attached a timer gadget to each one, which were set at 0.1s increments in the following order:
D
E
C
B
A
F
G
Z
Y
X
To add another variable to this test, I made and named the gadgets in the reverse of this order,
With the Dream posted online as private, I played the level once and activated the timers to create the score. The Scoreboards came out in the following order (with the values they had):
Y - 2
A - 10
X - 3
Z - 1
E - 6
B - 9
G - 4
F - 5
D - 7
C - 8
I can't see any pattern or reason why they came out in this order. Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions? -
I guess nobody knows anything more regarding this :/

Hi, this is not something you can currently control unfortunately. I think the ordering is probably just based on the server hash of the name of the scoreboard (and a few other things). I'll put it on the todo list.
thanks
