Vortex Version: 1.3.21 Memory: 13.93 GB System: win32 x64 (10.0.19042) please add scanned games that you haven't managed yet to the top of the list instead of having to go through and look through the list for the games yo can manage if there is any.

I'll put a "UI" label on this as it's not really my call but personally I'm strongly against this. There are plenty of cases where we don't discover games that are still installed and can still be managed (users damaging their registry or reinstalling windows without reinstalling the games, game editions we don't know about,...). The assumption is that generally a user will come to that screen with the aim to manage one specific game that they then want to find/figure out if Vortex supports it. Not: "oh, I'm in the mood of modding something, anything, let's see which game Vortex can manage with a single click". Thus it's more important that the user can find a specific game by it's name rather than finding which games were discovered automatically.
