I just went to the community wishlist to create an entry for sorting my library by update date and it already exists.

I'd sure like this. My internet connection is pretty crappy, and I have a monthly bandwidth cap, so I can't just download large patches/games any time I want. I generally leave them until near the end of the month when I know I'm going to have the bandwidth available.

Now, I should leave checking my update notifications until the end of the month too, but I can't That little red number just begs to be checked, so I see what's updated, and then the notification is gone. Then I have to try and remember what I was planning to download a few weeks later. If I could just sort my library by update date, that would solve everything.

I'm sure there was a big update that I was planning to grab at the end of January, but I sure can't remember what it was.

It's pretty time consuming to go and compare the download version on the website with the files I already have.

As long as it's not implemented, I have an extremely useful tool for you. ;)

I like the idea, so voted for it. In the interim. I suggest a text file (which is what I do) as a reminder when you can't DL the updates right away. I then check the changelog later on and figure out what needs DLing (if luck holds, it's not a completely new installer, but only a patch).
Hmmmm...
Might be possible. I'll look into it.

While that is a good suggestion, then I'd have to remember where the piece of paper is.

If I had a good memory, I wouldn't need the paper in the first place.

That's a good suggestion. I should just start a note on my phone to manage this. That will work a while lot better than waiting for GOG to implement something.
