Can we sort problems level wise in codeforces?
By matcoder, history, 6 years ago, In English

First of all, I would like to thank Codeforces for providing such a great platform for competitive programming.

Following some of the recent changes in the site, I found that several new features have now been added. Now, you can solve problems titled with an estimated rating. Along with this, you may solve the problems topic-wise. And if you want you can sort the problems in increasing or decreasing order of difficulty.

I would like to ask if there exists a feature too, by which we can select all 'A' headed problems or 'B' or 'C' and so on... and sort them in order of difficulty accordingly. I believe that this would help enhancing the problem solving ability.

Forgive me if this is proposed before or currently is in progress. But if not so I would request Codeforces team to implement this feature. Thanks

I think, not only A, B, C, .... it should be something like Div1/Div2/Div3/Edu/Comb A, B, C, .....
(where Edu means educational round, Comb means Div1+Div2 combined round). By this way, one can practice any problem of any type of round + increasing/decreasing order of difficulty s/he wishes.

Sometimes the difficulty of A, B, C might vary. An alternative way is to solve the problem by the order of difficulty (shown on the page of all problems)

And also a feature ( maybe a button ) to filter out solved problems from the problem-set page. Right now even after selecting the topic tag and difficulty it shows the solved problems again. It would be great if I had a feature to filter those out.

    You can sort the problems depending on how many people have solved it.

    Go to problemset.

    Click on the green tick there which highlights 'Solved' on mouse hovering.

    Then the problems will be sorted based on how many people have solved it till now. You will find 'Watermelon' on top. You can also select questions of selected rating. Lower will be the rating of the question, easier it will be.

    Hope it helps :)

Guys, I created a small website just to test it first, it has 4 types of filters available. Please check it out. It is a basic one for now but will upgrade it in the future. Also, please give some ideas to improve the website. Thanks in advance. Currently, it has 4 filters available, Category, Rating Min, Rating Max, and tags.

The site link is: http://rd200.pythonanywhere.com/

Also, my email ID is rudradesai200@gmail.com. Please write it there if you want to communicate directly.
