Platform Name Sort By

[Callum]

I like to have my sidebar in Launchbox set to platform, as I think is standard. However, they are stuck in alphabetical order, when I would like them in alphabetical order by developer (ie all the Nintendo consoles together, all the Microsoft consoles together). It would be good to have different sort options, especially since platforms have quite a bit of metadata,

Of course, there is the workaround of having the dev’s name before every platform name, but calling it the Microsoft Xbox 360 just doesn’t seem right.

Currently the way you would do this is to set the platforms “Sort By” value in a way that gets the order you’d like.

It would be great if there was the option for the platform tree could show the platform, manufacturer and release year - with those headings being clickable to sort by them.
