Daily Games Clogging up the Game Archives

Sort:
SoupSailor72
When I click on a user’s game archive, it shows the ten most recent games they have played. Next, it shows a string of daily games that the user has played, even if they are from many years ago. It then shows some more recent live games, then some more dailies, etc.

Why are these games shown out of order? The game archive should list past games chronologically with no exceptions.

This makes it annoying to scroll through game archives. Is there any good explanation for this?

On the website, the archive defaults to most recent games of all types based on finish date. You have to switch between Live and Daily to view just those games and the full archive in that section.

If you're on the app, it may be different. On Android, I think it's just loading based on game end date but you can still filter by type.

Yes, my question is about the app. Is there any good reason for this system or is it just a glitch?

If it's iOS, I'm not sure how it works. But I believe it should still show an option to filter games by type.

There is an option to filter by specific time controls, so it only shows rapid games, only shows blitz games, etc. But you can't select two or more of the options at once, so no "all games besides for dailies".

In any case, filter or no filter, there's no reason games should be shown out of order regardless if they can be filtered out.

I’ve had the same issue… not sure why. Seems like there’s no way to fix it, luckily it’s not a big deal besides just being a minor annoyance.

I also had believed the game archive had the games listed in chronological order by date. How is the archives listed if not in chronological order? I’m on the app iOS.

The first screen just has some games form different types though I don't know the sort order or choice criteria. When filtering to just Daily it should show by date I think.
