Ideally the team/player selection menus should be oriented the same way players are sitting in the room: horizontally. The current menu forces moderators to remember – on every single buzz – whether they entered a team's players in left-to-right or right-to-left order, and is thus a usability and efficiency issue. (The only ambiguous situation is players sitting in two columns perfectly perpendicular to the moderator.)

While variable widths of player names may be potential issue, I don't think it is that serious of a blocker; the real-life context of use of these menus (sitting at desks in a room) should inform the design more than a Microsoft design language default or guideline.

If a horizontal layout is really infeasible, then a label like (from left to right) shown in the selection menus is an alternative idea.

Current menu design (with names blurred) for reference

I've considered this in past attempts at MODAQ, but a horizontal layout was cluttered or confusing. Readers can reorder players to fit their preference of left-to-right or right-to-left, so I'm not too concerned with this. It's possible that this could be made into a UI option, although other issues have higher priority right now.
