I have posts like this but they went really no where in chat, I believe it’s cause I didn’t explain myself well. So I’m putting it all in one with better explaining, also cause I feel it all falls in the same idea Sorting. Plus these are more less all my ideas to Improve Launchbox.

1.

While under Platform Category, It would be nice to let Categories have their own (arrange by) differently from the main arrangement. In LB For an EX - I have a Category I made for genres I made up, For each Genre I made up, have a playlist. Than those playlist are in 1 Category - Made Genres. Now I have the (arrange by) opinion on the top under Platform but I wish to have arrange by opinion for that category like arrange by playlist.

2.

Also adding layers to the (arrange by) opinion, where you can arrange by platform or source or whatever than a 2nd layer will sort the games by a custom field / date added / date release For EX

this only took 10 seconds by editing each game's (Sort Title) but with a bigger list of games, that takes a while. Now I Know I can do it in bulk edit but that messes with the alphabet sorting unless its a bug, I think this will give more flexibly to sorting games.

Than it would be great to not have Wasted Space on Main Screen when arranging by platform or anything for that matter. But keep the titles of what you are arranging by, like I have in my ex: with the image I made in 3d paint.

Being able to add platforms to a game would be great so it would show up in the game details telling me what platforms I have that game for. Also when I look at my Installed / Favorites playlist it won’t show two copies of the same game. While showing the details correctly
