      How can I get a folder, like "Homebrew" NOT to show up between letter "H" and "I" and instead appear at the bottom of my folders list?

      I've tried editing the .xml file and I can seem to find a way to do this.

      I want to put folders like "Homebrew" "ROM Hacks" etc, at the bottom instead of having them appear in the rest of the alphabetized listing.

      Is there a way?

      Thank you.

        Press Select while Homebrews is selected and then edit its metadata. Fill in the Sortname field and give it a value of ZZ1_Homebrews. Exit the metadata editor and save the value entered. This should make the Homebrews folder appear last in the list, in alphabetical order, without changing the actual folder name.

        Do the same for the other folders you want moved in the list - set Sortname to an appropriate value to have it sorted as you wish.
