Hi,
There are multiple issues here.
1. Next Game uses database order not Game List order.
2. Behavior of keyboard shortcut depends on focus.
3. Menu and keyboard shortcut do different things.
Sample pgn data below, but I think you can get the same results with any
data. I get the same results with any format: pgn and si4 and si5.
Tested on Scid 4.7.4 and 5.0.2.
Preliminary steps: Open the (pgn) database. Sort on Round.
1. Next Game uses database order not Game List order.
Steps: On the menu click Game : Load Next Game.
Result: Scid advances to the next "Number", according to the last column
in Game List.
Expected behavior: Advance to the next "Round", i.e. the next game in
the Game List, respecting the sort.
2. Behavior of keyboard shortcut depends on focus.
2a. focus on Game List
Steps: (after double-click on a game) At this point the Game List has
the focus, don't click anywhere else. Use the keyboard shortcut
ctrl+downarrow.
Result: Here the Game List, and only the Game List, advances to the next
game in the list. Thus there are two games highlighted in the list. The
notation window still has the same game as before. The game list moved,
but the notation did not move.
Expected behavior: Advance to the next "Round", which it did, and load
that game in the Notation window, which it did not do.
2b. focus on Notation
Steps. Click on the Notation window. At this point the Notation has the
focus, don't click anywhere else. Use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+downarrow.
Result: Scid advances to the next "Number", according to the last column
in Game List. Same behavior as using the menu in (1).
3. Menu and keyboard shortcut do different things.
We already saw it, with the focus on the Game List the menu advances to
the next "Number", while the keyboard shortcut advances to the next
"Round" (but without loading it). This is perhaps explained by the fact
that using the menu changes the focus away from the Game List. I can't
test that theory directly. However, I note that with the focus on the
Game List, I can't use alt+g to activate the Game menu. But if I click
on the Notation window, alt+g does work.

test.pgn. I put the Scid game "Number" in the "White" field.
