On a manga's page, there's an area that lists the groups scanlating. However, you'll often see that many of the groups aren't currently scanlating the manga.
It would be nice to if it separated the groups who are currently scanning from groups who have dropped/stopped scanning. Actively scanning at the top, then an inactively scanning/dropped below. You could separate them by latest release for the manga.
Or even just sort the Groups Scanlating field so that groups who have most recently released for the manga appear at the top and then descending from there.
Whatever works really, except it's a bit un-informational to see it listed alphabetically so that all these a- and b- groups who have dropped the series appear at the top.

Hmm, that would be nice. Although, manga series with more than one scanlating group are the minority, I think. It may be difficult to implement this relative to each series, though (that is, to keep up things up to dateabout which group is still scanlating one particular series). It may be easier to simply list next to the group name whether they are active or not under the "groups scanlating" section for the series.
Personally, I don't think it's too much trouble to click on each group's name and figure it out myself, unless there are more than ten groups or something. So, I mean, this feature would be nice but not really necessary (in my opinion).
For now, another way to find the group that has produced the latest release is to go to "releases" (sorted so most recent is first), and find the latest release of whatever series you're looking for by selecting the first, second, and third letter if the series name, and then look to see the name of the group that produced that latest release.

That field is currently automatically generated by searching through our database of all the releases of the series and listing the groups that did them. That's all it does for now. Perhaps we'll change it later, but probably not. It's not important to us at all

Yeah. I just thought of it and decided to post. I knew it wasn't important, but I thought my post was already getting kinda long. It was meant as a "if you have a bit of time to spare and if it isn't too much trouble, this would be nice" kind of thing.
