 |
|
I find it quite frustrating that games are listed in apparently RANDOM order - e.g. here http://www.arcadeboss.com/games-3-Strategy-Games-Puzzles.html are 5 pages of Strategy games, IN NO APPARENT ORDER !?
I figure that actually they're in reverse order of URL (does that mean NEWEST ones at the top?), but what user knows what internal number any game is ? . It would be great if they could be simple alphabetic order - is this feasible ?
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned before - does it not bother others ? . Does everyone simply use the "search" function, rather than browsing up and down lists ? . Does anyone particularly LIKE the sequence they're in now ? . I'd be interested to know . . .

They're listed by most recently added. Most people simply use the "search" function or the "favorites" function. I myself rarely look through the lists for a game.

Hmmm, ok ICBM.
But Favorites doesn't help - I've about 50 already, and they're not in alpha order either .... so ..... search or nothing, I guess.
and Killer - I just like things orderly. Given a list of say 50 items, why have an effectively meaningless sequence, when alphabetical seems so much more useful. (Checked your phone book lately ?  ) |

Oops, I only just spotted your question, ICBM - too late! 
I don't THINK the first listed game was my most played, or even THE molst played... I couldn't begin to fathon the sequence.. but.. sometime today it seems it now HAS changed to plain alphabetic (which I find GORGEOUSLY sensible and easy to use) so I dunno how it used to be any more. |

| Yes, favorites now alphabetized. And the category listings are in order of newness. Maybe we can eventually get some additional ways to sort the games. |
