An all delete option would be awesome.

Spy ops are shared within the clan so it would be a bit tricky to delete them. Why do you want to delete them?

This sorta piggybacks on my "sort by op age" suggestion. That way, it's easy to sift through the noise and find the newest ops you are most likely looking for.

Yeah lots of clutter, maybe highlight and send to top the newest ops ?

Isn't the Advanced Search a way to sift through your spy-ops? You're searching for $X type of country to hit. Everything is presented and ones that are already op'd, show as op'd. Maybe a feature request for Advanced Search is to only display results that are op'd or op'd within $X days?

I have huge bias though - I'm a pretty big fan of Advanced Search. I hope it allows me to never login to a clan site again.

edit: So, that actually does exist: `Maximum Hours Since Spy Op`

Yes, however, the results are not in order based on the OP's age. You still do not know which ones are the newest in the bunch unless you want to keep changing the Max hours and search again.

Maybe not delete all but at least the ones that you can't use anymore.

I'm working on improving this, but old spy ops are always useful because of strategy classification. For example, a farmer may prefer to landgrab other farmer countries. A week old spy op is still useful in that case.

Please sort by age of spy op, not country numbers

Cool it is better now. I don't mind keeping all the old ops. Now that it's ordered by age, I can quickly scan to our newest or oldest ops.

Is there any way to put the type of government next to the country name in the Spy op Ctr?

the only way to find a specific op now is through searching with ctrl+f or find on page on mobile browser. I guess it works this way too. I forget how it was before, cnum without timestamps?

The issue is I don't understand the user workflows. I can put a box at the top of saved spy ops to bring up a specific op?

It would be fairly simple to allow both sorting options on the page either with some JS or url params and let the user decide how they wish to view.

It's good like it is, just encourages the team to post more ops. Which is the design of the unlimited ops.

Also gives an incentive to use a website for further drill downs too.

I need to understand the use case. Are players using a third party site to find targets and then they want to see if their target already has a spy op?

If a player is looking for a specific op then I don't think that offering a sort by cnum is the right solution. Scrolling through possibly hundreds of ops to find the one you want isn't efficient.
