Play this other game first

On playing the turn on all my games for the past few days on at least five of the games I have had this message come up "You must play this other game first". I am assuming I have to play arena games first. If so then BGA should take me directly to the games. Please could this be sorted out.
I do not pick the order in which I am playing my games so BGA should take me to the next game which I can play. It is getting annoying to see this message keep coming up.

It's just Arena games, and it's because you are skipping over turns.

yes, but he's right: it is a bit annoying that you just click "next game" and then have to click on the "play this other game first".
the algorithm should take you to that game in the first place

I doubt that. Happens to me most of the time not because of skipping turns but for other reasons.
The "next" algorythm presents you the game were you have less thinking time left first while in Arena Games you need to play your oldest game first, therefore as soon as some opponent of you made their turn in an older game your not allowed to play in the newer game were it was your turn just a minute ago.
Is there already a suggestion in the bug reporting system were we could vote for this suggestion?

To currently avoid it, you just need to make sure every game (of the same game) you play is on the same number of turns per day. Assuming you always play within that time frame.

Today I encountered this situation.
Clicked arrow button to go to the next game, and it was not actually the 'oldest game' but the game with the least remaining time.
Probably the algorithm didn't consider time setting differences like 1 move/day, 3 moves/day, and etc.?

Perhaps Admin could reply and give an indication whether this problem is actually going to be resolved.
