Rampman says:
among the different groups the list is broken down by mileage
The tiebreakers are based on fare not mileage or how long one has been an MP member. In fact, no where on the list does it show mileage. It sorts the list within each group by fare paid, and then only by three fare categories. So even the time you check in may have no bearing since someone (same MP status)who has a higher fare basis could check in later than you but move ahead of you on the waitlist.
