Order of States

I'm sure this has been covered in the past, but I can't find anything, and it's driving me crazy...why do the emails from GFK (Ipsos) list the available shops in a haphazard way? All the other Sassie emails I get list the states alphabetically. I have deleted countless GFK emails because I don't see my state alphabetically. Anyone know the reason why their list is done the way it is?

Incompetence?

By zip code?

Nope, not in zip code order either...

I e-mailed two of the schedulers and that it was inconvenient especially if viewed on a phone or tablet.

Pam responded that they were in alphabetical order and their system puts them in alphabetical order. I sent her an e-mail back stating that is not how I am receiving them and provided her the order I got them and that perhaps their system was broken.

I'm waiting on a response.

Way to go, wrosie! I haven't done a GFK shop in years, and I had fallen off their email list, but since the merger I've been getting lots of their emails again. Man, if I knew the rhyme or reason their states list was organized the way it is, I might be willing to sift through it a little more.

@xenshopper,

EXACTLY,

I normally scroll down to my state and look for my city. With the order all screwed up, I'm not so inclined, especially on my phone or tablet with limited screen space.

Just got an email like that for the first time today and I immediately deleted it. I only signed up for their half of the IpSOS website a few weeks ago and I find it annoying that the emails come from either IPSOS the old company jobs or IPSOS GFK jobs but they are all identified as IPSOS jobs. The subject line should tell us whether they are straight IPSOS or GFK Ipsos. The sorting issue is really annoying. It is probably the scheduler who may not know how to send with a particular sort since most of the GFK emails I have gotten so far have been sorting by state.

Never had a problem.
