Here's one:

I don't recall if I ever ended up actually testing it with ADFS, despite
the comment at the top, but it works fine (as I recall) with DFS and
Challenger. And looking at it again, 10 years on, you'd probably be best
off removing the sorting, and just specify the games already sorted by
name in the DATA statements.
