Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After July 24 update

Suddenly, servers sorted by LATENCY

Previously, for the past decade, it was always sorted by PLAYERS

This change is incredibly annoying to my muscle memory!

Before, I was able to quickly glance at which of my favorite servers were active, with a single click.

This change wastes time & energy, adds another step to my day, because I have to additionally click to sort by PLAYERS every time.

For the internet tab; it makes sense to sort by latency.

Not for favorites.

Reported feedback to the forums, please revert.
