When multiple ratings are submitted on a single game, the most obvious problem is that the ratings are all jumbled untidily on the screen so its difficult to crosscheck each and every rating and descriptor related to the game. There are two little tweaks that ought to be made so its easier to inspect and approve:

  1. Sort of the order of the attributes so that it matches up as it appears in the Add Ratings list such as ESRB first, PEGI second, USK third and so on. This also applies to the descriptors which are all alphabetised and not in the order they appear on the cover art or wherever you find them. If you are familiar with the order of the content attributes and their order, this will be a smooth inspection.

  2. To avoid confusion between the content descriptors and the ratings they are linked to, the attributes should be arranged in the style of a tech-tree. The content ratings would retain their original position while their respective descriptors would be tabbed slightly to right below the related rating, so that you know which descriptor is paired with which rating, especially if more than one rating happens to share an identical descriptor.
