There are two things I would most like to fix. 1) Put backs.
An 8:00-8:30 sitcom may lose to an 8:00-10:00 movie moving the
sitcom to card 2. If a 9:00-10:00 drama beats the movie, the
movie is then moved to card 3. The sitcom could once again
fit on card 1 and should be put back. Also, the movie should
end up on card 2 rather than 3. Which leads to 2) priority
sorting for cards 2 thru N. DoMultiCard simply moves things
to the next unoccupied card rather than resolving the best
fit for card 2 then 3 etc. This causes thing to show up in
random order, not fit tightly and in some cases and can even
choose the wrong thing to not record.
