Greedy Scheduling option for shuffle ordered time slots

Too much flex time when using time slots

Describe the solution you'd like
The time slot to check each program in the list to see if it fits in the available time left in the slot.

To elaborate a little: this option would be for shuffle ordered time slots only. It would change the algorithm to attempt to fit as many episodes into a slot at the cost of increasing the possibility of repeats. This would be sort of a "merge" between random slots and time slots - the behavior of random slots with the scheduling of time slots.

We could also expand on this further if we think of this more like random slots. For instance, we could implement cooldowns per slot to try to reduce the effect of repeats

I don’t even know if the duplicates matter in my case but a cooldown would be a good idea to prevent at least some of them in the smaller list sizes.
