Last time I used the standalone version, the servers were listed only by player count without featured servers being sticky. Do you think there's a reason why the server list on the website should sticky featured servers while the list for the standalone version doesn't, or why they should both be made to be consistent?

in the standalone version you can select the order of the servers by clicking these

I think in the web version the servers should be listed by current players/uptime. Then you can change the order.

Maybe its where they want first-time players to get their first impression? since those use the web client.
