remaining time display -- request for feature

[Liallan]

OK, I have proof now that the order is not working as described, that is, that the games just seem to be in random order. When I came on today I had 9 games going, 5 of which I had turns up. Those were scattered throughout the list. So not only were they not at the top, but they were not in order by time left. Just for example, Perudo was at the top of the list and I'm not up on turn. Carcassonne was listed next, but it's the one I had the most time left on. So it's not my imagination that this is random.

After catching everything up, I came back a while later and am only on turn in 1 game, and it's just in the middle of the list, and remains even when I refresh the page.

I prefer they were in the order I started them, with newest at the top, so they stay put and I know where they are. But IF they have to be in order of least time left, then it should at least work correctly.

So as far as I can see, they are just moving around in an annoying manner and definitely are not in order by time remaining.

(I'd rather have the original request, that time remaining shows, but I can see why that would be a bigger problem.)

Hello,

I just test it again (not with your account cause there is no table where this is your turn at now), and all the games where displayed in the correct order.

Be careful : the order is not refreshed automatically, so the ordering is only valid when you first go to the "games in progress" page, or when you refresh it.

If after a refresh you still see a game where this is your turn that is not at the top, please take a screenshot so I can see what happened.

It works for me. It does require the refresh, as you say. But I certainly do really like it. When one is playing 25+ games it really does help to have those on which it is your turn at the top.

The need to refresh is probably the issue, but I don't refresh since I have no need of this feature. From that standpoint, it just seems random, but if I refreshed, it would still seem random to me.

Not that much of anyone has posted, but so far I guess I'm the only one who does not like this feature. And if I had 25 or 50 games, I'd like it even less. I don't think the difference is in how many games we're playing. The difference is that once I come on, I get my turns caught up within a reasonable amount of time so it's simply not "fulfilling a need." If I'm continually slow on a specific game (due to schedule differences and such), I'm aware of it and try to get that turn in first.

The original request was for displaying the time remaining rather than re-ordering, which actually would be a nice feature, but sounds like difficult to implement. So it would be terrifically nice if the ordering thing was an option.
