1. automatically playing a singlton makes little sense, since
the tempo change significantly when it is turned on and you have singlton
to play, hence may give out the information opps are not entitled for.

The only cards should be played automatically are the cards of last trick. and
I am surprised this is not implemented

2. I really hate the idea that reorder the cards after the auction.
many times, I think I clicked the card I want to lead, but Alas, cards are
rearranged, I make a stupid again

I think it is only make sense to automatically reorder the cards of dummy...

... on similar vein, I've been told by someone that you can slot the opponent's cards? Is that true?

I've never paid much attention to this but I wonder if anyone else has picked this up?

What does 'slot the opps cards" mean?

Slotting the cards means that you can see how many cards are in each suit.
A practice by some top players is to carefully watch from where their partner or their opponents are selecting the cards that they play so you can get an idea how many cards they have in their suits.

There was one guy I knew who was notorious for this, so whenever I played him I either held my hand under the table or else had 7 suits.

I suggested this long time ago, but Fred was afraid that some people might dislike losing control over their cards. I still believe this would be worth while implementing. And along with this, no ave- in a tourney if the round ended during last trick.

sorry to be so vague. My acquaintance was referring to the ability to slot a BBO game.

IIRC, the slotting problem existed (cards came from the relative position in the hand), but was fixed some time ago (now all cards come from the middle).

About the rearranging, agree (maybe an option, you always see your suits in the same order). As a workaround, the alternative diagram way is fixed, and not reordered (Two ♠A button in bottom bar)
