It's awesome that we can edit the name of a game, but I'd rather be able to have a field they are sorted by (and if nothing is in this field, THEN sort by the actual title). So if I have three games Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest and Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse for instance, Then sorted by name, they are sorted : Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse, Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. This is obviously incorrect.

One option we have is to change the name to fix the sorting. But then the display name changes. So to get it to sort right, I'd change it to Castlevania 01, Castlevania02, Castlevania 03. And voila, the sorting is right! But I don't want these cobbled names to show on my display when browsing! So there can be a sorting title that allows me to name the game something completely different for sorting purposes. So I could change the Sorting names to the aforementioned Castlevania 01-03 and get the proper title sorted in the proper place. In the absence of a sorting title, then the actual visible title would be used.

This option is available in Launchbox and Playnite, and I've found I can't really live without it. In the above example, I can sort game series, and keep them together regardless of if the entire series starts with the same letter or alphabetically falls into the right place. Better, Playnite is open-source so you can at least see how they do a LOT of things. If you're not using them for inspiration, you should be at least looking at their code for ideas on how to make some of these features work, and what kind of features to include. Although it does seem like a lot of the completed features and menus are very similar to Playnite, so maybe this feature is coming?

i’d definitely appreciate this feature. similarly, galaxy should automatically ignore "the" and "a" at the beginning of game titles. “the wonderful end of the world” shouldn’t be right before “theatre of war”

This is where the drag and drop seen on the Galaxy 2.0 page comes in, just not implemented yet.

Thanks for the response!! Glad to see this is on the road map.

Yay. This also let's me remove titles that start like: "Sid Meier's " which lump all his games under 'S' in the library. Stupid to have to find Civilization next to Andromeda in the 'S' section.

Tom Clancy is another one...

Yep. That's the idea.

Will the metadata we edit be saved in our GoG cloud and shared between our devices running Galaxy? Or will we need to manually copy between our local devices?

+1 for having a separate, customizable sort value

Yay!

Would be cool if you could kill two birds with one stone:

ignore a(n)/the and autocomplete sorting title without them

the sorting title feature itself

Cheers!

+1 on the bookmarks and sorting titles settings! :)

Good to hear, it will come.
I am so far blasted by the client and Steam is now reduced to merely being a DRM software.
