Sort By Name

How do I disable GameEx sorting all my lists by name?

This is annoying with my configs...

Also on this latest version when I am scrolling down sometimes the pointer goes to the top of the list randomly... has anyone experienced this??

Thanks for the info

As far as I'm aware, you can't, I also can't understand why you'd want to either?

What other way is it going to sort your games that would be more logical than by name?

Maybe I'm missing the point here

You can edit the fasion in which the order your emulators list using the setup wizard.

Unless Im not understanding you correctly.

I have the Ulitmarc 360 joystick, and sometimes it "sticks" causing this problem...Any chance that you might have a stuck joystick, or button?

If it was a left/right issue, then you could enable "Cab Control Friendly", but that won't help you with up/down

So for example, the 'Emulated Games' list of all my emulators... I have my list ordered by year the system came out, but then gameex now will re-order them all by name and gets it all messed up and ordered completely illogically to how I want it now. Any ideas on why Tom has sorting on level pages like that? Even the Start Page sorts by name and looks really funny when it sorts by name on the latest version of gameex.

Yes, it makes sense in a roms list... but not on the 'Emulated Games' list

Why not just rename Start Page Name of the emulator to include the year in front of it so it will sort by year like you're wanting?

I checked this to make sure I was right...

On the start page, you are correct, you can not reorder the list.

On the page that list the emulators, it lists them in the order that you have them ste up in the setup wizard. In the setup wizard, select "custom" click "next". Put a check next to "emulator selection" click "next". On this page, you can use the up and down arrows to move your emulators around in the list (have a beer handy, it can be slow). If you click on the "A", it will sort them automatically...I assume alphabetically, though I have never tried it. Maybe you clicked this accidentally?

I think I may have to do this.... out of sheer lazyness I wouldnt really want to do this because of the number of PC games and other things linked. Those will have to go into another category.

Thanks for checking for me Tempest..... but I did a test.... and it doesnt matter how i order it using this new wizard. GameEx re-sorts it again.

I used the sort by name button first.... then i moved nintendo to the bottom..... while gameex was loaded on the page.... it auto-re-sorts and screws up the list.

TOM? Bug??

You mean You had Gameex running in the background? I don't think you can do that. I would shut down Gameex, make the changes in setup wizard, shut down setup wizard, and then restart Gameex. I swear to you that Gameex displays my emulators just as I have them setup in the setup wizard, and Zinc is in the middle of the list!

I can confirm what Tempest is saying, the emulated games list definitely is in whatever order you have them set in the wizard I have mine set in order that the system's were released just like your trying to do without any trouble

the funny thing about this issue that my gameex exen sorts a game detail page alphabetically.

Lets say I load a game.... normally it says....

Play This Game

Box

Remomve From Favorites

and then the long description....

Moments later the thing automatically sorts by name and then it will say...

a range of training programs....

Box

chance that you will complete....

down targets.

As you can see... nothing makes sense how this is sorting and this is some kind of issue with the way my gameex version. Someone has to be experiencing this issue.
