ANZ Make listing of testers sort-able by number of tests done?

What would you think about having the ATTMA Tester listings for Australia and New Zealand sort-able by the number of Lodgements filed?
This would give the market some indication of testing experience. It would also encourage testers to file their tests. Currently there is little way to differentiate between testers.
One could argue against this. For example, when you look up financial advisors, you can't sort by "number of clients served" or something like that. It's up to the customer to do the research.
Let me know what you think.

A response to my bad idea:

"This just wouldn’t be right for so many reasons. If you flipped it, If you joined ATTMA as a new tester, would you want to be bottom of a list? Also, would you want to employ someone that was experienced but travelling 3000km for a dwelling air test? It’s not very co2 efficient!

ATTMA in the early days (2010) did have lengthy discussions about how the list is displayed. Before I joined, the names used to be scrambled everytime you refreshed but building inspectors used to moan that it became a nightmare trying to verify a member."

Alphabetical by company name just like a telephone directory back in the day is the fairest way to do it. A filter to the "mostly tests in" column would probably be the easiest although I've had in my mind for a while about country maps where you select a region and it lists the testers that cover the area. Although companies could just say they test everywhere.
