Suggestions for sorting games and number of discs #239

1 / It may be interesting to put a sort name in the file "gamie.ini" in addition to the title that normally appears in the list, to organize games.

For example: Currently, Final Fantasy is ranked in Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy VII and finally Final Fantasy VIII.

With a line of type "SortName": Title: Final Fantasy VII SortName: Final Fantasy 7 '

Title: Final Fantasy VIII SortName: Final Fantasy 8 '

Title: Final Fantasy IX SortName: Final Fantasy 9 '

The series of Final Fantasy could be sorted in the right order.

2 / In the menu, when using files in ".pbp", the number of disks is always noted 1. Is it possible to put a line in the "game.ini" file to force the correct number of disks?

Interesting idea. It could be done but wouldn't simply renaming the directory to Final Fantasy 9 etc do the same thing?

In the selection menu, sorting is done with the name "Title" present in the file "game.ini".

The use of the classic numbers in the name of the directories does not change anything, in the case where one wants to make appear the games with the Roman numerals.

Afterwards, this type of sorting could also allow to place a game like "Rage Racer" between "Ridge Racer Revolution" and "Ridge Racer Type 4", without needing to add the name "Ridge Racer 3", for example.

It turns out the branch I'm currently working on already sorts the games by the title. However, I noticed when you go through the game manager to edit the title and it returns to the game list the title hasn't changed. It needs to refresh the list. And when you edit the game title via the game parameters menu and return to to the carousel the game title has changed but not the position in the carousel based on the new name. I added the issues to my to-do list.
