After Interplay promo I am trying to sort manually my games on GOG. But this time it is going to be long. Why cant I sort them from "show titles" view? Boxes are large and that make sorting more difficult. :(

Ah yes, the shelf. With it's user friendly interface and...

Wait... Long? Large? A reference to your increased quantity of games?

Herr Lexor, my name ist Freud. Have a zeet, please.


I kid, i kid. I have the same problem, anyway. Moreso. Twice the size, in fact.

I sorted mine by genre and which I liked so like this: RPGs best to worst, adventures best to worst, etc. Then I listed free games. Then as I bought more I started new groupings after the free games, making another set of RPGs best to worst, adventures best to worst, etc.

That way you don't have to rearrange the whole shelf every time you buy a bunch of games. Just seperate the NEW shelfs groupings by a free game or two or something, and start again.

Hold ctrl while scrolling the mouse wheel, and see if it helps.

1. free games still have some category I would like to have them in
2. I'd like to have possibility of easy sorting after every purchase - and I often buy just one game
3. your method requires having a lot of free games :D I think "empty space" would be better but it is not here to use :(Yes, I discovered this some time ago. Still I've noticed that the more games I have the slower is "reaction" to drag&drop. I do not have modern computer (P4, 8 years old) and slow drag&drop makes sorting so annoying thing to do.Yes, possibility of moving the whole row would be sooo useful. I agree, display on shelf is not high priority but it is the only possibility to sort games manually :(

I think also option to "not replace box" but "insert box between" would be convenient (if you know what I mean).

Group by genre and leave space in between? If you set sorting to manual(the selector at top right of shelf view) it'll allow spaces.

really? o.o how can I "create" such space?

When you move boxes around leave some spaces empty. :\ Like put RPGs first by moving/swapping boxes....then move some boxes after that to the bottom shelf, and leave some spaces clear, then start the next genere grouping until all are sorted.

Like game game game, blank blank blank, game game game, etc.

Normally when sorting is set to something other than manual the shelf will move all the games up one to fill a spcae if you make one by moving a box. But on manual the space will remain empty....allowing you to put games where you want them. I have it on manual myself, but have so many games it was easier for me just to use the genre genre genre genre free game genre again genre again etc method.

Hey, I have no problems with improvements ;-) To play around with the shelf is really fun.

I guess what you mean, you want to put a game between to others, as example to complete a series with the middle game. Yes, that would also be nice

Btw, we need more free rows than just the two on the bottom. I prefer to sort my collection by genre, and the some more free spaces are very helpful.

Read my reply....and set sorting to manual, and leave spaces between genres. ;)

Need to check this, but as far as I remember you can only use as much free spaces than the 1-2 free rows gives you from the bottom. You can't get more rows, and that what I would like to have.

Edit: Tested it, got a third row by moving one game down, but that's it.

Try sorting by genre, and leaving spaces between them. Like 5 rpgs, then 2 empty spaces then 7 fps games etc......and see what happens. By doing this you can leave room between genres to allow for more games as time goes on.

My collection is sorted by genre, but that's not the point. I managed to fill all rows, some with max one empty space, but I don't get another one row With my maximum three free rows I get total maximum 15 free spaces.

As long as you can space and sort easily why do you need more rows at the bottom? As you buy games it'll add more rows/spaces to accomodate.
