erling1000 Posted Wednesday at 08:43 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:43 AM Hi I like to have things the Right way 😉 In my Launchbox (List view) to the left, there are all the platforms, like "Handhelds - Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Game & Watch, Nintendo Gameboy...etc". Alphabetically. I'd like to know if I can sort them chronologically and by manufactor: All Nintendos starting with Game & Watch, then Gameboy etc, and after Nintendo other companies. I find plain alphabetical sorting wrong in platforms and can't find a setting that does otherwise? Any input? Greetings... Quote
Solution AstroBob Posted Wednesday at 11:02 AM Solution Posted Wednesday at 11:02 AM Hi @erling1000 Thanks for the great question! You absolutely can do this. When you edit a platform (either right click > edit or by going to Tools > Manage Platforms and double-clicking on one, you’ll see a field called Sort Title. Whatever value you enter in that field will determine the sorting order for your platforms. For example, if you want all Nintendo consoles to be ordered chronologically, you can input values like Nintendo Console 1, 2, 3, or Nintendo Handheld 1, 2, 3. This Sort Title field also exists for playlists, allowing you to set a custom sort order that isn’t strictly alphabetical. Hope that helps! Let us know how you get on. Cheers, Quote
