Enough has been said today, I think, about the problem in the above image that one cannot tell which of the people shown have all of their ordinances shared with the temple so that one can be sure they will be completed at some point and which have not been shared with the temple and so will never be done until the Ordinances Ready pool is so small for a relative that it gets found by that routine, unless someone ignores all the icons and carefully checks each person's ordinance page, which people will be less and less inclined to do as they find the vast majority of the green icons are shared with the temple, to ignore that problem in this post and bring up another concern.
For researchers who are using the temple icons to find records that need to be improved so that temple work can be submitted, this image would look fine and they would turn their attention elsewhere.
However, one of these records actually has a problem. There is insufficient information on the marriage to submit for sealing to spouse. It is the wife with the blue icon.
I don't recall the behavior on the old version, having never really used the temple icons for that purpose, but it seems there would be value in having the orange not available due to insufficient information icon override the blue everything is just fine and the work is almost done icon so that someone would look at the record and fix the problem.
I have to wonder what would show if her individual ordinances were completed, the grey or the orange icon.
Having the orange icon take top priority in the display would have to be based on why the orange icon was there. I certainly would not want it to display if sealing to spouse was not available because someone never had a spouse. But it really seems that it would be beneficial if the orange icon is there because an ordinance should be available but is not due to some data issues.
Please consider this change in which icon takes priority when just a single icon displays.
