When submitting release info for a game with multiple platforms it's often the case (specially for type-in magazines) that you have to add the same information for multiple platforms. The fact that this can't be solved with checkboxes is already annoying enough, but there's also another annoying unwanted feature.

When you select you want to add release info you are asked for which platform. But the platforms in the list keep changing position, so it's incredibly likely to accidentally submit release info twice for the same platform and miss another platform because logic dictates that you can just click the first link the first time and the second link the second time (etc.), but that's not the case because the order keeps changing. It should just be alphabetical.

If you are on a platform tab instead on the general overview, e.g. this would be the PS3 tab, then said platform always goes on top of the list. Otherwise it does not change.

Makes sense to me, because when you specifically look at the PS3 version it is likely you submit stuff for the PS3 version.

But then I expect to not see the list at all.

It would make more sense if you went straight to the release info submission screen without passing through the platform selection screen. Platform selection can be done via a drop-down, just like when you submit cover art, and the platform you selected last should be preselected.
