Hello there!

I sincerely hope that this has not been asked / discussed or requested before, still I'd like to mention it as I think it is an important aspect of a website such as lichess.

I noticed that there are a a lot of options for customization of your own profile, especially when it comes to the look of the interface and pieces or even sound, which is remarkable.

Still, when others take a glance at my profile or at the profile of any other player, the first impression does appear to be quite important.
And here, my question arises: Is there a possibility for us to chose the way our ratings of each game mode are presented? Namely, or maybe most importantly, the order?
I played a little bit of Ultra Bullet and I think it is a fun game mode, but I am not an Ultra Bullet player and I think it wouldn't be that hard to implement a system in which we could chose - on our own - what the most important game mode is, so we can put that one at the top and hide others at the bottom of our rating section.
Players would immediately know ones favorite game mode around here.

I do see some disadvantages here. For example, I think that it is also a good thing to have a uniform system, where you already know which place rapid (e.g.) will be on. Still, Ultra Bullet for example is not even in your profile until you've played one round of it - so why would it be a problem to dynamically swap the position of some game modes?

This might appear to be a luxurious problem and I do agree on that - nevertheless I think it's still a topic we could discuss about and if there is enough time left for it - we could even do something about it.

Let me know what you think
Have a nice day!
