When looking at the MultiCollider drop down I'm not seeing my accounts on Code Review or Area 51.

enter image description here

I could swear I saw my Code Review account there the day I created the account, but since then it seems to be missing.

The only reference I could find on the intended behavior of the MultiCollider:

Your current site appears at the top, along with any relevant meta, chat, and blog links. Stack Overflow gets a careers 2.0 link. Immediately below, in a new condensed format (you certainly don’t need descriptions if you’re participating in a site already), you’ll get a list of all the sites that you have logged into, in order of reputation. Finally, you’ll find the full alphabetical site list with descriptions, searchable by title, URL, and description.

  • Your rep on Code Review went down below 100 so you won't see it anymore until it's back to 101. (same score items are sorted alphabetically)

  • @ShadowWizard that makes sense for Code Review, but what about Area 51? I think my rep there is 206.

  • Area51 does not show in the site list of the top bar, it's a known issue and by design. (going to look where it was mentioned)

The site selector only shows a limited selection of sites that you're most active (read: have most rep) on at the top above the search bar. For example, mine currently looks like this:

The rest of the 63 sites I have an account on don't get shown at the top — if I want to get to them via the sitw switcher menu, I have to look for them in the alphabetical list (or use the search box).

As for why this is done, well, let's go back to that "63 sites" part. Sure, I might appreciate a convenient link to Graphic Design, Physics, Biology or Academia, all of which I have more than 1k rep on, but if those were all included at the top of the menu, the search box would drop out of sight — and that would be a much bigger inconvenience. And I'd still be missing out on several sites that I visit pretty often, but don't happen to have as much rep on.

A simple "show more..." link above the search box would be kind of nice to have, though.

And if you think I have it bad, just think of all the poor SE employees who have an account on all the sites...
