emulator order for same named games

Post by jaw970 » Thu Mar 19, 2020 9:41 pm

Hi,

How does QP determine sort order for emulator names for same-named games?

Example:
I have Frogger lusted four times (Sega Genesis, M.A.M.E., Super Nintendo, Sony Playstation)

QP list the games this way:

Name Emulator
Frogger Sega Genesis
Frogger Super Nintendo
Frogger M.A.M.E.
Frogger Sony Playstation

Is there a way to sort by emulator, alphabetically? I've tried fiddling with the sort order but can't see to get it right.

THanks,
Jason

What part of QuickPlay? Search results maybe? Or saved searches? Or have you made a custom romdata with results for more than one system in? A screenshot might help. Guessing, i'd say that saved searches and custom romdatas are most likely to be able to be able to order alphanumerically by clicking the emulator column header.

Custom romdata is the answer, thank you. I have three columns showing - Name, Emulator and path. When I sort by path, then by name again, the game list now displays and sorts by emulator alphabetically. This did the trick, thank you butter100fly!
