As of my last edit, it is organized as follows:

• Winter Sports, Water Sports, Net Sports, and Martial Arts have their own sections
• Of the remaining sports, they are grouped roughly in order of international importnace, with the most important (Track, Soccer, Basketball, Rugby, and Gymnastics), and the lesser sports (i.e. Fencing), farther down and sharing lines.

• Why did you group Baseball and American Football on the same line? They're to VASTLY different sports.--  † CR₉₀  05:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

They're in alphabetical order. Lauryn^☆ 05:58, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't see you point.--  † CR₉₀  05:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

They're on the same line (column) because PBP has listed them alphabetically. That's my point. Lauryn^☆ 06:00, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

But there's no reason to list them together. The list as a whole isn't in alphabetical order in the template it self.--  † CR₉₀  06:07, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

The reason I listed baseball and American football together is because they are very popular in the United States, but not very popular in other places. Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Locker)} 06:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Probably not by first look, but most players in the MLB are from different countries other than the USA (Carlos Pena for example), Baseball is pretty popular in a few different countries. Other than the USA is mainly Japan.--  † CR₉₀  06:45, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
