Alphabetical Order with multi-system displays?
« on: June 08, 2017, 04:58:05 AM »
Hey folks!

I'm using AM and love it. I wanted to create one Emulator using 'Generate romlist' that features the games from MAME, Model 2 Emulator and Sega Naomi. This works fine; I'm able to create a romlist and everything boots into its own discrete emulators perfectly.

However, I have a small problem: The Naomi and Model 2 games don't show up in the correct place in the romlist. They all show up at the end of the list - but do show up down there in alphabetical order. So it goes MAME, Model 2, Naomi, each in alphabetical order, on the same display. If possible, I'd like them to all be blended into one alphabetical list, so Hogan's Alley (MAME) is next to House of the Dead 1 (model2) and House of the Dead 2 (naomi). Is that possible?

I've found that items that show up at the end of a romlist out of alphabetical order, is caused by having it begin with a lowercase letter. I don't know why it does this, but if you rename the item with a capital and rescan, they will end up back in order. Check and see if the rom starts with a lowercase letter, and if it does, that is the problem. In your case, it is because those systems you listed (naomi), (model2) are in lowercase, and (MAME) is not, changing them to(Naomi) and (Model2) with capitals will fix that.
