MarkoH01: Hey :)
If you did not try out AF yet you sure missed out. GOG will never be the same again for you. In case you should have any questions regarding AF just contact me :)

zakmckracken: Excellent. :) Just installed AF and am exploring the new world of GOG now. Thanks Marko! Will do.
Don't forget to read this

It might be that this has been added officially in the meantime but if not it might help.
Just here to say that my library is messed up too.
And with every refresh it just shuffles titles here and there.
I certainly didn't buy VIctor Vran the first thing on GOG. :(

Well ... maybe you DID and forgot about it? ;)
Are they even addressing this issue ? "Sort by: whatever" went full random.
I was going to comments saying that it's been fixed but now I:m showing the first half in order followed by a random mess for the second half.

Mine has chunks of about 20 or so games that are in order (sorted by title). But there are some that I know are missing. In the next group of 20 or so, some of the missing ones show up and that group is in order. The cycle continues like that for the rest of the games.
Hmm, sometimes it almost gets the sorting correct, though it definitely seems like it's just shuffling them on each reload. It'll probably clear up again soon.

I usually keep my games library on GOG ordered by purchase date. Luckily the "Orders & Settings" page still has everything in the correct purchase order, so this isn't going to be much of an issue along those lines.

That, and I've been keeping track of my games in my own notes, an HTML file on my own computer. No website, no webserver, no woes. Just double-click and it opens in a web browser for viewing. Though, I've been keeping track of only the games I've downloaded. That in itself has become a few different lists: most recent purchase (try to test within 30-days, but I always fail), games in progress, games to play, completed games, and some notes about ScummVM and WINE (a very few simple steps, no thinking/searching needed again).

I've downloaded manuals and hint books, when available, and made links for each out in the open instead of hidden within menus. The PDF files I've downloaded simply open within the web browser when I click the link. I've also added links to their game pages (rather than copy/paste their descriptions), though I've yet to link to the forums because the list of links on my GOG forum page has been easy to use.

Generally I rearrange my lists by just cutting/pasting an item from one list to another as needed. I've left out the images, I don't really need them and they don't attract me, their titles are enough. It'd be no trouble to add them, though, an IMG tag is as simple as a link.

Real easy and sorted based on my activities and goals, but no strict plans or schedule. Nothing quite like personal notes for what matters in the moment. I still use my GOG games library, of course, to check for later updates for anything new I'm about to start playing. I'm seem to be using the website less often though, perhaps from acquiring more focus with my notes. No real need to browse through all the rest of my games library online when I haven't finished playing with what I've already prepped offline.

New purchases do get me though, so I download them and add them to the "recent purchase list". Gotta try to to play them within the first 30 days, but as I've said I never make it in time. Then I move them to the "games to play" list, as I might as well keep them in mind since I've downloaded them.

I was told by Judas that it already has been reported. Unfortunately all we can do now is wait for them to fix it.

As a programmer with clients that rely on me, I'm more worried about this being an issue with the underlying database program and not their code.

He didn't give any hints as to the cause, did he?
Yep, my library is shitfaced too.

The database server is hitting the beer towers again. :)

I have a pair of database servers that store our anti spam data. I swear they both disappear from the network every so often. :)

Since he only reported it and probably won't be the one to fix it, no. But I agree that the problem probably is the database itself.
Oh I remember this. I also remember that they (GOG staff) was thinking about offering a vodka tower :) Good times.

My library's head has just spinned around 360°.

As long as it doesn't start spraying green vomit, I'm fine.

Database beer towers. The GOG way of managing an online store, figures.
Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes GOG to fix this?
