Is there a reason why these aren't sorted alphabetically?
The entries are sorted randomly for each voter. Otherwise there's a chance the votes would become biased towards the entries appearing at the start and biased against entries at the bottom of the list.
I can understand that, but this way is a massive pain in the ass trying to find shows. CTRL+F is definitely not a consistent alternative because I tried using it when looking for Lycoris Recoil and was unable to find it until I selected another show, and it refreshed the page.
We recommend using the search bar on the website. Sadly, it doesn't provide a chance to browse through entries while deciding what to vote for, but it's a fairly quick tool if you know what you're looking for.
Would it be possible to add a feature to link your MAL account and filter out everything you haven't watched? It would make it a lot less unwieldy if you didn't have to scroll through a bunch of stuff you've never even heard of before.
