LaunchBox choosing beta versions over release by default...

Hi, recently decided to redo some of my platforms after noticing that I was missing a few games or was using the PAL version on a few games... So I used the No Intro romsets for NES/SNES/Genesis, and I've noticed that it often chooses the beta version of a game as the default version to launch with. Currently, I'm fixing this by making auto populated playlists for each system with the condition of "contains beta in the rompath" as the prerequisite, that way I can see only the games that are using a beta version, and then I go through them individually & choose the release version (unless, of course, when the beta version is the only version).

Does anyone have any tips for how to do this more efficiently? Obviously, I could remove the beta versions when importing the games, but I like the idea of having the beta versions as an alternate launch option. I'm also wondering if there's any way for LaunchBox to not parse games that start with "The" in the title by placing "The" at the end? For instance, "The Lost Vikings" changes to "Lost Vikings, The". LaunchBox ignores "The" at the start of a title anyway, so I just prefer for it not rearrange "The" (most importantly, I moved my image & movies folders from my previous installation, so any game that starts with "The" doesn't match with the image & video filenames. It works once I change it, so it's fine, I'm just looking for a more efficient way to do this.
