Prioritize Tournament Matches in Turn-Based Queue

I would love it if there was at least an option to prioritize tournament games in my turn-based queue. The way it is currently ordered is via time left to play, which makes sense -- except for one thing: tournaments do not replenish time. So if I have 23 hours to complete a move in an Arena game, that is much different than even having 3 days in a tournament game, so when I make the arena move my time will replenish a bit, but in the tournament it does not. If I have a day or two where I only have a small amount of time to log on, I would like to play the tournament matches first if I only have time to play a few moves and having them prioritized would help.
There are times when I am playing a lot of matches and I do not notice a late round tournament match has started because it goes down to the bottom of my queue. I suspect this happens to players to play like 250 matches at once and this is why you sometimes see someone who is logged on a lot, run out of time in a tournament. Maybe they should not be playing if they can't keep up, but they do and this could help.
