When you click on the link that says "5 games waiting" (for example), it will choose a game and show you that game. After making your move, it will take you to the next game, and so on.

My question is: is this process sorted by time remaining? I have been playing with it and didn't know for sure. (The time bank makes it a more complicated thing to determine... it didn't seem to show me the game with the least time remaining, but maybe there is more going on in the background than I realize.)

My question is basically: If I only play half of the games waiting (today), and come back tomorrow and play half, and so on and so forth... will I ever accidentally get "stale" games at the bottom of the queue that never got my attention? Or am I safe in using this approach?

I think the game is sorted by opponent move.

such as:
game 1 : the opponent move on 3rd january
game 2 : the opponent move on 1st january
game 3 : the opponent move on 5th january
game 4 : the opponent move on 2nd january
game 5 : the opponent move on 4th january

so the game waiting will be sorted like this:
game 2
game 4
game 1
game 5
game 3

Anyway, it's just my thought I don't know the truth also :-/

PGeon is right. It is sorted by opponent's move time, older first.

It is difficult to order by time remaining, the days/all time controls can't be easily sorted.

In my case I always recieve a game, as earlier has been finished and archived. Must be a bug or?

I always play at 7 days/move, so there are no inconsistencies.
