		I have noticed a recently growing trend of servers to always ensure that the first letter of the host name starts with "a".  This makes if very hard to find out which server I am actually joining.  I would greatly appreciate it if all server owners simply removed the "a"'s and "a000"s from the start of their host names. 
 
Thanks

		I always sort my list according to the number of players. I've always done it like that, so for me, it seems pointless for all these a000 servers

		so, if you sort by players, wouldn't it make sense to look at the game title right next to it, when you're looking to join one? 
 
I've never looked at the host name, but that's just me..
