New sorting mode for the in-game Save Browser

    Would it be possible to add another view to the Date/Votes button that says Random? A view mode that shows entirely random saves whenever the arrow key is pressed, or the window loaded?

    I say this because I'm noticing that more than likely, the few saves that make it up the popular saves curve tend to get stuck there almost indefinitely. I'm inclined to think that when people see the most popular saves first thing when opening the program, it generates a noticeably lopsided number of votes for the few that appear on the first page.

    maybe include some kind of system that decreases rating with time, x votes/day or something like that, should solve this, still a random sort would be awesome.

    Yes, because people only look at the first few popular pages, and nothing new.

    Oh, people do look at the other pages. But the number of people who look at something besides the most popular ones is apparently disproportional. o_x

    Granted even if the random option were the default, votes would still be lopsided but even then it'd still be neat to have.
