MarkoH01: Steam is much bigger (so this can be expected) and much more unfriendly and incompetent regarding support (my experience).
Primo_Victoria: If GOG is not big enough to keep up, just have a simpler setup that just works. This is an ugly mess and I hate it.
You are new (welcome :)) so you cannot know it but before the new account system and Galaxy they HAD a simpler approach and it mostly worked. They now decided that they'd have to change a lot ifd they wanted to stay in competition. Obviously they wanted to change a bit much too fast so everything seems to be broken right now. So it is no wonder that you hate it - you are not alone. It is sad because every new member will now first see how "broken" GOG is and not how perfect they are on the inside.
MarkoH01: Since the new account system (NAS)
timppu: So THAT'S what NAS stands for! Doh! :D
I kinda agree that now it is sometimes harder to understand which games are part of the same "series" or somehow related. For some titles this had something to do with the recent unbundling, but I guess with some it is about the naming of titles.
I never used the manual sorting option though, as it wouldn't help me to make the connection with the games after I have downloaded them (only when I am looking at my non-downloaded games on the account). Maybe I am hoping some kind of renaming of some files so that it is more apparent they belong together.
It is not just that - the sort order simply is wrong in several franchises. You have listed part 4,3,1,2 in some of them. That is no order - it's chaos!
timppu: Still, not overall a biggie for me, just making a bit harder to remember things.
Understandable since your main concern seem to download the games and be finished with it. That is perfectly valid. But seeing so many users having a collection bigger than anything you could play in a lifetime and seeing so many entrys in the community wishlist demanding their good looking bookshelfes back, I saw the average GOGer more like an collector who likes to present his collection. Maybe it's just me who is that way (which also would explain why it is so quiet regarding the sort order) and I was wrong seeing it this way. Maybe I am in the minority. Anyway my opinion does not change bacause of this.
