There was a similar bug with HS/College players back in the day. I believe they were listed in order of projected overall rating rather than randomly assigned. I don't doubt this works.
That wouldn't necessarily provide an advantage though, would it? As in, everyone gets to see the draftees at the same time. If Joe B has the highest ID# (and thus highest projected OVR) but I didn't scout him, I can't magically move him up my draft board.
This bug implies that all international free agents are created at once and placed in an imaginary pool that you can only see by changing the ID numbers. Maybe I'm the only one, but I've always thought int'l were created the day the first email gets sent out letting you know that your scouts have found one. Obviously if this bug holds up, I've been wrong.
