  • how to sort the games listing?

    From mark lewis@1:3634/12.73 to all on Tue Jun 13 17:45:00 2017

    is there an easy method to sorting the door games list in scfg? we'd like to order them a little cleaner than they currently are... right now they're just in the order in which we added them and that's rather oogly :(

    I've always used the hammer and screw method. I insert and dummy record where I want to put something, then I go copy the entry I want to move and paste it to the dummy entry. Then I go back and delete the orginal that I copied from.

    lather, rinse, repeat.

    Easy? perhaps. Tedious? youbetcha.

    Yes, set 'sort = true' in the [xtrn_sec] section of your ctrl/modopts.ini file. This assumes you're running exec/xtrn_sec rev 1.12 or later.
