Sort by metadata?
-
From the games list, we can sort by last played, times played, rating, and name. While these are good, I would like to see the ability to sort by tags in the metadata, for instance genre, publisher, or even release date for those curious to see the development of a console over its lifespan. I've seen a "favorites list" requested elsewhere, this would be a great way to do it, either by adding a favorites flag (moves this game to the top of any search results that find it) or by setting genre to favorites.

@kikinaak In respect to favorites the Kid Friendly version of ES has the ability to set favorites and toggle the game list to only show them. It also has the ability to show only kid friendly games and hide games through certain modes. You can check it out here. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Child-friendly-EmulationStation
I would also love to see a genre sort as I really go through moods of what I want to play, I'm really surprised it's not already there actually. I know nothing of coding so forgive me but doesn't the data for the current sort ie rating and so on come from the gamelist.xml?
