Games Sorted by Creation date.

Edited 1468550499
I would like to see a feature where games can be sorted by Campaign Creation date. A lot of the time, I find myself browsing for a game, but find it very hard to find a newly opened game to apply to. Most of the games I find have 1 slot opened, but the applications are months old. That tells me the GM is leaving that a lot open, just to remain listed. Well, that doesn't help me, or GMs actually looking for players matching. It's just fodder that we have to sift through to get to an actual game we can apply to. This will not effect the players looking to fill that last slot if it is actually available, because they can simply not sort the list that way.

It sounds like you want to sort games by Creation Date in the "Find A Game" search. Just to clarify your idea isn't for the My Games page (which I believe is sorted by most-recently-played). Just a side note though, there are multiple reasons why a game might have 1 slot open in LFG, and applications appear months old. Perhaps the game started and concluded, and now the GM is refreshing everything to run the game again, anew, from the start.  Or perhaps the game started months ago with 5 players, and eventually 1 player had to drop-out for life reasons, now the GM is opening that slot up to recruit a replacement player.
Yeah that is what I meant. Sorry. It would be a nice feature to the gamers who would like to find a fresh start.

I would spend all of my votes on this if I could. I am searching for new games, and I can't search for how new they are?
Have I mentioned how incredibly frustrating this is? I can see why you might want other ways to sort in addition to "by date" (i.e., from newest posting to oldest posting), but I can think of no rational explanation why this, the most obvious sort option, would be missing.

I like this idea as well. I've also been having the same difficulty and wanted the same solution. I found there's a similar conversation on this thread.&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4606956/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4606956/slug%7D</a>
How is this still not implemented?
