The computer DOES sort apps. If you apply and do nothing else you'll have to wait until your app floats to the top and gets reviewed.
But ANY DL pilot who you happen to know can simply send an email and get your app reviewed in the next cycle. That's what you'd want to do for sure, that will get human eyes on your app for sure (vice waiting for the computer which score you lower).
