Unless I'm being really dumb, I don't understand how buzzing in and saying 'projective' on that first line is not also correct; indeed, I and most other people I know who work in homological algebra usually think of Ext in terms of projective resolutions instead of injective resolutions (ime it's u...

You can click column headers to sort the table -- I was thinking that that would suffice in lieu of adding another column. Or do you mean a set-wide ranking (e.g. where this A-value ranked out of all teams that played the set)?
