Strong players should be on the top, and I assume the developers would be working on the reported 800 rating bug.
Player list ordering bug

Hello @wayne_thomas . Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm investigating it. Can you please share a link where this problem happens? It'd be great if you can also point at least a few players who have an incorrect rating.
Many thanks.
Spacebux first reported the bug here:

It was showing up for the player @flickqueen in his list of Current Games. I've sent you a message with other examples.
A few weeks back, players with daily ratings between for example 1275 and 1975 started appearing in lists (eg. in vote chess Members) as having a rating of 800. At that time, the lists would still be ordered in terms of their 1975 rating. Then a few days ago, the programmers seem to have reordered the lists, so now the player with a rating of 1975 appears down at the bottom of the list with a shown rating of 800. While it is nice to know that someone is working on this problem, instead of just reordering the lists so strong players are at the bottom, it might be better to correct the 800 rating bug.
