I just manually arrange them in alphabetical order. And I hide a lot of games, the ones I have no intention of coming back to ever again. I've got about 24 visible games on my shelf right now and 66 hidden.

I just sort all of them by "Show newest one purchased" first, pick a random game from the list, play that game, after I'm done with it I put the game in my hidden list

Rinse and repeat

I like the default last one purchased order myself. I don't bother to do anything with it other than admire it from time to time, feeling grateful I have so many cool classic games now.

Manually, more or less by genre first, gameplay or thematic similarities second (e.g. RPG - Dungeon Crawler or Adventure - Horror). Same series is a given. Currently I've hidden all the free games, even though I like some of them; probably to keep track of my purchases.

I used to organize them the same way Roman does. Currently, I just sort them by date, because the ones on top are the ones I've yet to play. After that, I'll probably go back to the method I've used before: The best ones and the ones I remember from my childhood can have a special spot at the top, games in a series are next to each other, and at the bottom lies the crap / otherwise unappealing games + the free ones.

You don't need to do that manually, you know? :P

I use the "last purchased" option. It's the best one for me, tracking my backlog easily.

I have two categories.

Firstly I have the games that I have beaten/finished in alphabetical order. Then I have the games that I haven't beaten/finished in the approximate order of how I expect I they will be played - the ones I will be playing (and hopefully finishing) at the top, and the ones I won't be towards the end.

That is the correct way for games to be organised.

lol

Yes, order and correctness counts which is why my list is in the correct default display!

I sometimes use the automatic alphabetical order. When I get bored of it, I switch back to "date purchased" view. Albeit, the alphabetical order is usually more useful when I'm trying to pick a game to play, seeing better the different parts of the series etc.

I don't personally see much point organizing them manually. In fact, I'd rather peruse them on my 2 terabyte hard drive instead.

Does it feature colorful pictures, too? ;)

I like date purchased, that way I have a nice timeline all the way from first GoG in June 2009 (Beneath A Steel Sky) all the way through to latest, 2 days ago (Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams)

I use the list view. The shelf often messes up the custom arrangement and is too damn slow at 400+ games. Every the screencap addon refuses to work.

Not beaten at the top, beaten at the bottom. Beaten free games inbetween, not beaten free games at the very top.

I arrange my games manually. Nothing fancy, I just try to keep series on the same shelf. I'll also move the odd box that really clashes with its neighbor.

I only recall losing my sorting once. I guess I've been lucky.
