Games will not sort by anything other than title - and sync issue

[scottieb]

I am on Launchbox android version 1.20. Using a retroid pocket 5. 

No matter what sorting method I choose, the games stay in alphabetical order.

This is a newish problem - previously this worked as expected, although I'm not sure exactly when it got wonky - at least a version ago. I do install beta updates when it asks, if that matters.

For example I like to sort by the Star Rating. By default games are sorted by title, and in the displayed info they do not show the star rating at all. Previously, when working correctly, I'd choose "Star Rating" as the sorting method, and Launchbox would then display the rating along with the other info, and sort the game list by that rating. NOW when I choose sort by Star rating, the rating WILL display, but the games remain sorted alphabetically. No matter which sorting method I choose, the app looks like it is doing something (screen blanks for a second like it is sorting) but the games remain sorted by title no matter what.

Additionally, both Launchbox Windows (v13.22) and Android show that I am "in sync" however my play times from my android device are not coming over to windows like they should. This one is more random though - some games work fine. For example I played Earthworm Jim (Sega CD) and Zelda 2 (NES) the other day. The Earthworm Jim play time has synced in Launchbox Windows, but Zelda 2 still shows 0 play count and play time. I previously played and beat Zelda 1 and it also shows no play time. Other NES games do show play times though.

Any ideas? Is there anything like "sweeping" I could do to maybe root this out? Like can I uninstall and reinstall launchbox Android without having to set everything up again? Or maybe there's a setting I'm missing, or a file I could delete that the app would recreate and fix the bug? 

Thanks!

Wow nothing huh? 

I've tried changing my theme. Some themes don't have an option to sort by rating. But even the ones that do - they won't sort. 

In fact it doesn't matter what I try to sort by. I can sort by genre or developer or anything. Same behavior. The screen goes blank for a second like it is re-sorting and then re-drawing, but when the list comes back it remains in alphabetical order. Happens with every platform, too. Whether it has 10 games or 500.

Thanks for the report. We'll look into it and if we find anything amuck there, we'll have it fixed for the next beta.
