With my contact list set to 1,000 via custom firmware, if someone DMs me that's not a favorite, it takes a long time to scroll down and find the contact that DM'ed me. It would be great if contacts with unread DMs (red bubbles) were ordered at the top in the contacts list.

Thank you!

Good thought! I can move unread DMs to the top of the non favorites section always. I'm taking a break from development for a few days this week but will work on it towards the end of the week.

Of course! And, just to be clear, it doesn't matter how many contacts your radio is set to hold; RemoteTerm ingests all of them. It will keep your radio loaded with your marked favorites and then the most number of contacts it can fit to keep your radio 85% full (room for adverts, and loading those so the radio can ack dms, although you will still receive the DMs even if your radio does not ack), with the most recently interacted with or heard contacts given priority. So, perfectly fine to keep your radio capacity high, but RemoteTerm is not limited by that in any way.
