Potential confusion re Ángel Nieto Team / Aspar Racing Team

In the Rider changes section we currently have:

This seems to me to be misleading for anyone who is unaware that Aspar changed its name to Ángel Nieto for the 2018 season, and who doesn't actually click on the link. Can I suggest that this instead should read:

Entry table order

edit

There has to be a better way to order the list of teams/riders. It should be ordered by something that intuitively indicates to the reader how to find the information they're looking for, and there's no way in heck that rider number is the most common piece of information they know off the top of their head. Team name, constructor name, rider name, even rider nationality would be more useful. Let me be clear - nationality would be an awful way to order the table, but it is still more relevant than number. Wicka wicka (talk) 14:05, 26 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm just going to WP:BEBOLD and change this. Sorting alphabetically by manufacturer, then by team name within manufacturer, and finally by driver number within team. I expect this will be reverted but hopefully any editor that does so will come here so it can be discussed. Obviously simply posting here alone wasn't getting much attention.
