Instead of being seemingly random can it be programmed so the next game it jumps to is the game with the fewest time remaining?

Some of us like it the way it is (game which has been waiting longest since opponent's last move), but perhaps we could have a fourth option in the "after move preference" menu. You need to specify which you want - shortest total time remaining, or shortest time excluding timebank. If it goes in that menu, could we ask for both?

I support Kewpies suggestion of expanding the after move options.

The reason it appears random is because it lumps together time remaining with time bank .If you put them together it makes sense .As I have asked for before it should go time remaining:time remaining + time bank:time bank

One man's "right order" is another's "nonsense sequence". I think the "next waiting game" is the "right order" myself, i.e. the game that's been waiting the longest since my opponent's last move. You might like to consider a more appropriate wording for your personal preference.

I would like to see from top to bottom the least amount of time remaining.
Not like it is at present which is least time remaining plus time bank.
This gives a list that is all over the place

So, what you mean to say is make the list ordered by the user's own preference. In other words, Kewpie's suggestion to have more choices for preference.

After all, I might not like your preference, and you might not like mine.
