Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

This is probably insanely nitpicky, but my default game order is by Platform (GC > Wii > VC) which automatically sorts titles within each in alphabetical order.

In the Wx interface this then looks like this:



However in the Qt interface the games are ordered by folder title (i.e. [D43P01] The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Bonus Disc > [G2MP01] Metroid Prime 2 Echoes > [G2VE08] Viewtiful Joe 2 etc.), looking like this:



It orders correctly if I sort by Title and then again by Platform:



However this unfortunately resets after closing Dolphin. 

Is there any workaround for this please? Alternatively if it's a bug my mild OCD would be eternally grateful for a fix

(in case it's relevant, my specs:

Win 10 Home x64
i5 2500k
MSi GTX 970
16gb DDR3 RAM)

I'm looking into it.

https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/6697 should fix this.

That's amazing, thanks very much!

btw, Qt will save the order you set by default, so once you manually sort by a column once it will stay the same even if you restart Dolphin.

Merged and part of master as of 5.0-7094: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/2b9...fb500afcb/

Thanks very much! However I am unfortunately getting the same problem as before - despite sorting it so the order appears correct, once I close and reopen it's organised in folder order again. 

I even tried deleting all files in Dolphin folder and only using those from the latest dev build, along with deleting dolphin.ini (from the config folder in My Documents), and that doesn't fix it.

Is there anything else I could try doing please?

(really appreciate your time trying to fix this by the way!)

You could try to delete your Qt.ini in User/Config or use Dolphin in portable mode by creating a portable.txt file next to your Dolphin executable.

Thanks. I tried creating a portable.txt and then adding the first path to my GC games folder. This listed everything in alphabetical order. However once I added my Wii games folder it went back to listing games in folder order again. Is there any chance this is still not listing correctly, or do you think just something to do with my system?

Okay try https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/pr-6708-d...est-x64.7z (in a clean folder and with a portable.txt).

Also: Does the list remain sorted properly once you manually sort it and restart Dolphin? I've had other people test it too and it seemed to be consistent for them.
