Hi Daniel, I submitted a question to you earlier today regarding the sorting. I feel that the sorting is working in descending order right now as long as I don't change the setting which has some intermittent issue where it doesn't actually refresh (reverse) the sorting. I have another question for you related to the GetPersonalEntry call. Right now, a player can submit their score after creating a username the first time. Subsequent personal best scores are also submitted. I call GetPersonalEntry to retrieve their Username and Score. This seems to work for awhile and at some point the Username is returned as Unknown although the user has been submitting scores. How is the user and device tracked and any idea why their info is no longer being pulled back? I checked in the leaderboard-creator management UI and their info is still listed there. It seems like it is being cached for some amount of time and then no longer correlated to their device and the public key. Any help very much appreciated.

Hey jpair!
Upon initialization of the game, the user automatically receives a unique identifier from the server, which is used for identification. This is then used to identify the player's entry among other entries in the leaderboard. I have just released a new update which should fix the issue of unique identifiers getting lost, however this behavior may reoccur if your leaderboard exceeds the limit of entries that it has (1000 for classic leaderboards and 100,000 for advanced leaderboards) as entries outside the limit get removed completely.
Hey Danial, appreciate the reply. Leaderboard is working great right now. To work around the GetPersonalEntry issue I was having, I just decided to switch to storing the player username and score locally (PlayerPrefs) instead of calling GetPersonalEntry. I am still using the Leaderboard but just focused on the UploadNewEntry and GetLeaderboard services. They are working great. I'll update to newer version soon. If I get lucky enough to exceed the free limit, I'll definitely sign up for the paid advanced leaderboard. Thanks, Jeb
