Sorting issue

[Former user]

It seems that roman numerals in game titles are a little whacked. I'm running 6.4 beta 2 on Windows 10 Pro N

III comes before II, as does VIII before VII

I'm seeing this primarily in the King's Quest series.

Thanks so much for letting us know! :)

Hi Anonymous, I just fixed some sorting issues, so it should be improved, but handling roman numerals in the middle of a game's title is difficult and I don't have a good solution for it. For example:

Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire

Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero

Unfortunately they end up out of order, because the "S" in "So You Want..." comes after the second "I" in the "II" roman numeral. I had tried to solve this previously but ended up messing up the sorting for other things, so for now this is something we'll just have to deal with.

As a workaround, what you can do is edit the games that are out of order and go to the Other tab, and put a value in the Sort Title field. For example, for the above games, you would just put "Quest for Glory 1" in the Sort Title field for that game, and it would fix the sort.
