## What is a featured stat?

A featured stat is a player stat that's displayed in various kinds of XBOX UI, most notably in a player's activity hub and in a player-to-player comparison of progress in the game.

For each title, you can select up to 20 of the title's most representative user stats. These custom-defined metrics are used to highlight a player's progress, compare it with the progress of other players, and drive players back into the game.

Each featured stat includes a localizable display name, a sort order, and a sequence number for prioritizing a set of featured stats.

## Reorder featured stats

All titles automatically display three built-in featured stats before any title-specific featured stats. The built-in stats are GamerScore, achievements earned, and time played.

By default, title-specific featured stats are ordered according to the sequence in which you create them. Each featured stat has an associated number that represents the stat's display order in the UI. Make sure that the most important and representative stats have lower order numbers, with 1 being the first featured stat displayed.

To change the order of the featured stats:

<Steps>
  <Step title="On the **Featured stats** page, select **Reorder featured stats**.">
    On the **Featured stats** page, select **Reorder featured stats**.
