Another similar case is the Cossacks Anthology games, all three covers have the text "Cossacks - Art of War".

Just reporting that I just spent some time sorting my games and for me everything works very well now :-)

Hmm... I wonder if it would be possible to sync the manual sorted library to the gogwiki. I think I should ask Barefoot_Monkey if it would be possible to implement that :D

Great, glad it's working :)

It would depend very much on how he does the syncing.. I've tried to look at it myself and couldn't figure out what he actually does...
I suppose it could be possible to export the sort from AF and use it to arrange the games in the wiki possibly...

Attached please find:
1) sort_order.jpg - actually a text file (rename it to .txt) with the exported sort order. Gave it a cursory look and it seems the order itself is messed up.
2) top_of_my_lib,jpg - a jpeg file with the first few rows of my library for reference. The first five rows were hand sorted by me, the rest should have been sorted by title.

Tried the procedure you asked for in (2) above, didn't change anything.
One thing I noticed. When I first click reset (regardless of 2698/2699) the first page is correct (0-9A-B), but as soon as I reload the library, the order gets corrupted (begins with W-Z0-9A-B).

I tried again just now and was unable to reproduce the "syst" bug either. So that's that for now.
When I say console, I mean "Firebug".

I'm still going through the games that have identical covers, will have a look at cases like this after, so will probably poke people to report on such cases.

I've done covers for Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Two, hope everyone likes them:

Curse of the Azure Bonds --> 1432642138
FR - Unlimited Adventures --> 1432650732
Gateway to the Savage Frontier --> 1432649588
Hillsfar --> 1432640506
Pool of Radiance --> 1432640961


The rest, along with the Hearts of Iron II covers, will follow in a separate post.

Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Two continuation:

Pools of Darkness --> 1432643408
Secret of the Silver Blades --> 1432641528
Treasures of the Savage Frontier --> 1432641771


Hearts of Iron II

Hearts of Iron II --> 1429023691
Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday --> 1429024026

Thanks. I'm not sure.. but it looks like what's happening is that it's properly sorting them (the sorting order seems to be in title order) but for some reason not then assigning the sortBy (which is what the end sort is based on) as it should... I'll look into that and see why it might be.
Edit: A closer look seems to suggest it's missing the first 23 numbers on the sortBy.. which could be the missing games?

That's interesting too.. what happens if you move a game after resetting (but before reloading), as that should 'save' the current order.
It does look like the order isn't being saved correctly for some reason. I'm not sure why, but I'll look into it to see if I can spot any reason.

Well that's a good sign at least.. maybe just a one off then.
I do have Firebug, but I'm never sure if I'm using it or not... I'd assume it's console does show errors correctly, but I have no idea. Ctrl + Shift + J is the one that works for me, so I thought it best to share just in case.

Press F12. It opens Firebug, which you can identify by the small orange-yellow bug (Firebug Options) at the top left corner of the newly-opened panel.

Another update.

I've tweaked the 'Move' popup box. It now clearly shows you the currently selected game and it's position (as well as defaulting the value in the textbox to this position).
And now if you put any negative number in the box the game will be moved to the beginning of your shelf and any number higher than the amount of games you have and it will be moved to the end.

Yeah, that's what I get when I press F12 too (wasn't sure it was actually the Firebug console though) but it doesn't actually show a lot of errors. Most of them only seem to show in the console that comes up when you press Ctrl + Shift + J, I have no idea why (but it was the main cause of my struggles to get the script working in Firefox originally)

I'm still looking for a likely cause for your library's sort order be messed up.. it might be handy to know if it is something to do with the number of games you have...
*goes in search of foxworks to prod*
foxworks, mrkgnao is having some troubles with manual sort on his library and I wondered if it was due to the size of his collection.
Would you mind trying some tests as you have a similar number of games?

Great news! Looking forward to trying it out.

And this concludes the list of games with identical covers I had.

If there are any other, please let me know.

Thanks Hyper, I really appreciate the effort you've put into that :)

I'll try and get the last batch done as soon as possible (probably Tuesday at this point as I'm working tomorrow)

I'll take a look. I've yet to try out the manual sort. *puts on sort cap*

Nope. I've been having some health issues lately, which has prevented me from working on this stuff. Feeling a bit better now though, so I'll try to get back to it.

It's the least I could do for all the effort you're putting into AF. :-)


Sorry to hear about that, hope you'll be back on your feet in no time.
