Option to list players in turn order instead of yourself first

[Beefsticks]

So, some games don't indicate who's first second third etc. Why is every game listed with my name at the top of the list even though it has nothing to do with actual turn order? Is a change that would be technically too involved at this point?

Because when developers list the first player first, they're flooded with complaints until they fix it. The turn order is correctly shown -- you can see who comes after you and before you -- but games list you at the top to appease users.

Unfortunately, this is implemented on a game-by-game basis, so there's no single BGA settings that would fix it for every game at once. It would require manually editing the different implementations for each individual game.

What if it was a user option. Could that be universal?

Nothing can universal wrt to that topic, some game dont even have a turn order, some have a dynamic turn order that is stored independently from bga turn order feature, some have multiactive states, etc
I cannot be anything else than a game-by-game basis

To reiterate: There's no single BGA setting that would fix it for every game at once. It requires manually editing every single game.

Making it optionally doesn't decrease that burden. It does the opposite, forcing each game need to support both ways of displaying it. Rather than helping, it makes the problem that much worse.
