At first: this can not be changed from the XWIS server side, so the players need to download something to get their server list reordered in a more "fair" way. Even if they would know about this mod, it is not in any way a positive change for the player, so why would they want to have it?

If something should be done about this, then you should have an advantage for the player. There are two things to keep in mind:
- Regulars want to find the server they like, and don't want to search in the list for the right server. With the new scripts.dll, I always either use the Buddy List or sort the servers by name to find BI, that's annoying. A better solution would be to make a preferred server list and place them on top of the list. Then you can easily find the server you want.

- New players or players who for some reason want another server than they usually visit, don't really care which server, they want to play. So: Show only non-clan, non-passworded games on top. Then order by player count so people can easily select which amount of players they like.

Random ordering annoys everyone, and is a huge step in the wrong direction if you ask me. It's the players that are important, not the server owners who want to have a lot of players in their servers.
