Well that still favors the stronger stations. Was "calling at lower

Of course stronger signals are easier to decode. How could that not be
true?
What's really bad is a signal that is strong and has DT > 0.396 s. When
those conditions are both true, the signal might be decoded but cannot
be subtracted (thus providing an opportunity to decode a weaker signal
an nearly the same frequency) until the final decoding pass.
What I wanted sometimes was a "favor callers *not* on my tx
frequency". (But that's probably an unrelated thing to this change.)
You can always uncheck "Call 1st" and select responses to your CQs
manually. You have complete control over who you answer first.
Another plus of the old ordering was that you could see the three
passes and say "hey look it decoded this one because it subtracted a
stronger signal first". The new ordering seems to be pretty messy
instead.
We have always displayed each and every decode as soon as it is known to
the decoder. This remains the basic ordering of displayed decodes -- no
more, no less.
When designing program behavior and writing code there are numerous
choices that must be made, including many that might admit reasonable
decisions different from the ones we make. One of the reasons the
program is Open Source is so anyone can modify it in whatever way suits
them best.
One recent decision is that "sooner is better" applies to all
decodes just as much as does "more is better".
