UP_AND_ATOM Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Hi Jason, I'm a relatively new user but im really impressed with the Big Box functionality you've built. I'm hoping that this feature already exists and im just missing it, but I'd really like the ability to set the name that is used for sorting for both games and platforms. This way I can reorganize the order of platforms and keep series of games together. For example, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 could be sorted as "mortal kombat 4" so that it stays next to the others in the series. Does this already exist?

Jason Carr Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi Atom, indeed it does. It's called Sort Title and it's in the Other tab when editing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP_AND_ATOM Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Great, that's just what I was hoping for. Is there a similar option for platforms so I can sort them by date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Unfortunately not at the moment. That is a good idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP_AND_ATOM Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Ok, I completely understand. That feature is going to be important for the StationEmulation theme that Viking is working on. I don't suppose you'd consider adding this to one of the next releases? I'd be happy to lend a hand if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Probably not for the next few releases as I have to prioritize the most popular requests. How is it relevant to the theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP_AND_ATOM Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I agree, this is a minor change that most people probably wouldn't notice. I wouldn't prioritize it above anything major. It isn't super relevant to the theme, except that the original EmulationStation does allow users to choose the order the platforms are in, and the intent of the theme is to mirror their functionality as much as possible. Outside of that, it would be nice to organize them by date, but again it's not a hugely important feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Makes sense. Thanks @UP_AND_ATOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
