How about a good way to sort games by urgency then? Sort by 'Alert' went away and didn't come back as part of the reversion to the old inbox style. Something like that would at least allow grouping the important games onto the first page.
Just looking for a way to accommodate both sides. I do understand the efficiency thing, but it's also harsh to tell ...[text shortened]... meone with 700 games to just deal with such a sudden and drastic reduction in functionality.
Originally posted by MarinkatombSorting by "time" does exactly the same thing. This is effectively time until you timeout (not time until you start using your timebank).

And the Sort by Last Move is there...

My 'sorting by time' doesn't seem to work.
This is what I want:
(1) On top I want every game with a flashing red clock.
(2) Then I want every game with a steady red clock.
(3) Then I want every game with a dimmed gray clock.
(4) Then I want every game where my opponent thinks.
Within each category sorted in descending (?) order.
I.e. a panic list!

My town had only one chessboard and we all had to share. The pieces were rocks painted black or white with K or Q or Kt written on them. If somebody promoted a pawn, we had to go find another rock and some more paint!

I used pidgeons that flew the moves from me and my opponent. The pidgeons I had to catch myself. I was always afraid to lose on time...
You were lucky you had a chessboard. I had to draw the board with a stick at the beach, and think about the moves between the tides. As pieces I use ...[text shortened]... me noticing it. My opponent didn't take my queen, a seagull did.
You were lucky, I tell you.
