Sort servers by player slots available instead of occupied

When the server list is sorted by player count it naturally promotes servers with a higher number of total player slots. When I sort the server list by players I'm looking for a server's potential to provide a game quickly. A 23/25 server is more similar to a 17/18 server than it is to a 25/25 server. Yet the server list will sort such that the 25/25 server and the 23/25 server are near each other and the 17/18 server is way down the list. This would have the benefit of promoting official servers, which are less frustrating to join due to the lack of mods.

But yeah, the sorting by players as it is .. promotes servers with high slots .. which is probably the reason for the high slots in the first place .. free advertising .. bugs the hell out of me tbh .. people joining 24 slot servers .. why .. ugh
Idea in original post would need a little refinement though .. you won't want explorer servers or 3/4 slot servers appearing ontop
Check whether admins registered by ingame admin functions are in server, send tag or new packet containing the admin numbe when refrehsing server bowser r :P
Sorting a 3/4 server to the top would be a little strange but the lowest max player slots I've seen is 10 and I would want a 9/10 server sorted to the top.
