Custom System Order

[theboundlesssky]

I'm having some issues getting EmulationStation to read the custom es_systems.cfg file.

Here is the es_systems.cfg file that I created: https://pastebin.com/U2BNitwG

I've edited the files in

/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
/home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

I've rebooted the system several times, and also tried changing themes, but nothing seems to work on re-ordering the systems.

Note: I do have the favorites collection enabled

Anything else I should do or try?

@theboundlesssky not sure where this setting is in the GUI but if you check your es_settings.cfg I think you'll find:

<bool name="SortAllSystems" value="true" />

Change this to "false" and restart ES. Your config works for me, but not with that setting active:

(SortAllSystems false):

(I don't have anything in mame or fba folders so those aren't shown here.)

(SortAllSystems true):

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks! That was exactly the issue I was facing!
