Board Game Arena

I've tried to find this in the FAQ without success. Apologies if I just missed it.

Playing Turn-Based games I see a message "It is your turn at XX tables (YY in progress)". When you click on "XX Tables" you come to a game with a move to play.

Question: what is the ordering algorithm for the tables? Which table do you land on first, and if you skip it, what's next?

I'd like to know that I will always land on the game with the least amount of time available, (i.e. that the primary sorting key for this list is sorted by ascending time remaining) but I'm not sure if that's true.

I play a lot of games at 1 turn/day, so most of my games have 2 or 3 days available and I can't see a difference.

I want to make sure that if I start to play faster games - and faster games can be a LOT! faster - that I won't have to "next-table" my way through a list of 30 pending moves to find the faster ones, but that they will always be at the "top" of the list.

Thanks,
B

I am fairly certain that this is the ordering. I am not positive, but I do seem to remember an official announcement a few years ago that they were changing the ordering from table number to time remaining.

Yes it is time remaining.
