With the keyboard, you are supposed to type the first couple.. few letters of the game you want to run to have it appear at the top of the list. The UI was designed to give you a random list upon starting its list which is not exactly cabinet friendly (w/out keyboard). Then again the game selector UI was meant as a backup, not a solution.
If you are using a cabinet, there are many front-ends which are much more friendly with joystick navigation you can use to select your game which offer many more options than the UI that is provided by MAME as a fallback.
