Keep Draft Default Rankings or Reorder?

I keep toggling back and forth on this, but when drafting, better to keep the league's default rankings as your browser view, or reorder them according to my own rankings? If I keep the default, I see what everyone else in the room sees, but the default rankings are usually so skewed as to be largely unusable. If I reorder the default ranks, I get an accurate view of my player values, but may end up taking guys I like too early (as some appear further down in the default ranks).

Thanks!

I largely ignore the default order or ADP. Depending on the site, the default is some generic ranking, perhaps not apropos to my league. I don't actually reorder the site, but I draft off my rankings.

If there's a trustworthy ADP, customized to my league, such as the NFBC, I'd be foolish of I was not at least aware of the market perception. My primary concern is if I feel the player is worthy of that draft spot, but there are occasions where it helps to know what's likely to happen so I can order desired picks to maximize chances of getting both - or at least getting the most out of those two picks.

Sorta depends on whose judgement you trust more ... that of an source whose metrics and methodologies are unknown to you or yours?

Well, I trust my own rankings that I've made far more than the league default, but my query is whether I want my ranks staring at me in the draft applet or rather what the rest of the room (who haven't reordered their picks) sees.
