Jason Carr Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi @TONBOX777, we have a ticket for this in Bitbucket, but currently there is no way to custom sort platforms. Hopefully we can get to it soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I would also like to see this as well as a default platform to land on. And if not using a default platform, land on the last one used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jencaasi Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 After Googling, this seems to be the most recent post about this. I'm just chiming in to ask if there's been any headway on this? My platforms are kind of...jumbled and I'd really like to manually sort them, sort by number of games, platform release year, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgtroyas Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 This would be great. Also adding alphabetical ordering option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyon23 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I found a work around. You can go to custom filter, hit the add button, pick the platform you want first down in the filter values, then rename it with an "01" in front or something like that. For example, name it 01-Windows, 02-Arcade, 03-N64, etc. They will list in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgtroyas Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'll try it. What I did in other front ends is to add the year of launch before the name, so they are chronologically ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I been waiting to see if this would be implemented, The problem I have with putting a number in front of platforms is that I use Rocketlauncher as my emulator and putting numbers before platforms completely messes up the whole setup. Jason we hyperspinners need this!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hey all, I'm hoping to add an option for this before the next official release, something similar to the Sort Title field on games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damageinc86 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 This works pretty good. Only thing that I noticed in mine is that even with adding a number to the front (02 - Nintendo consoles), It seemed to sort alphabetically for the most part within that title, but then for some reason Nintendo Wii is at the beginning of the list. But you would assume Nintendo Wii would be towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d8thstar Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi just found this feature and love it, thank you! i would like to suggest an additional field if I may. The sort name works great, for exa,ple, I name all my Nintendo systems like: arcade 01 mame arcade 02 daphne arcade 03 sega model 2 etc. in addition to the excellent sort field, it'd be great to have a "name displayed" field. That way if I rename an emu, I don't have to go into the folders and rename folders to match the new emu name I just gave it (should I have everything scraped already). So, three name fields total: title: default name, what you scrape with sort field: lets us display the platforms in order we would like NEW, name displayed: let's us change the name that is displayed without having to change any folder names once something has been scraped Just a thought, keep up the great work.

alnyden Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Would also be nice to have the option to sort platforms by release year and the ability to quickly toggle between that and the sort field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I think the actual way to do this is to allow drag and drop of the platform names to the user's preferred order, and to just remember that. If they change their mind on what order, then all they have to do is drag the platform name to a different spot, with a line that shows up when in between platforms, so you can tell if you are on top or below whichever one you are around. Done. Entire sorting platform problem gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) A request was made for this on Bitbucket. You should follow this link and vote for it: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/3055/platform-playlist-sorting-with-arrows-or Hopefully this feature is added soon.

damageinc86 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I wonder if this has gained any traction? I hate how there is no way to organize your platform list other than into consoles, computers, and arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
