How Do I Change The Order Of Games In The Games Menu? Options

[jonboy99]

Hi folks, have been using unleashx for a while. HAve transferred quite a few of my games onto the hard drive using dvd2xbox and they appear in the games menu on the unleashx front screen.

I can't figure out how to change the order they come up on screen. I've tried editing items.xml on the C drive, and although it's the right file I think (if I edit the game name it changes on unleashx) changing the list order doesn't work.
Is it something to do with the tstamp or date option? It's in hex or something so i'm reluctant to fiddle without knowing what i'm doing.

cheers

They are sorted alphabetically by title. You could turn off sorting in config.xml

<List Text="Games" Sort="Off" Auto="On">
<Path>E:\Games</Path>
<Path>F:\Games</Path>
<Path>G:\Games</Path>
</List>

so they'd then be sorted by their order on the disc.

If you want them in a particular order you'll have to add them manually:

<List Text="Games" Sort="Off" Auto="On">
<Item Action="F:\Games\Halo\default.xbe">Halo</Item>
<Item Action="F:\Games\Aeon Flux\default.xbe">Aeon Flux</Item>
<Item Action="F:\Games\Half-Life 2\default.xbe">Half-Life 2</Item>
etc.
etc.
</List>

Alternatively, you could try turning sorting off, then manually editing items.xml to change the order. I haven't tried that, but I'd guess that it's no different from editing config.xml.

I am not sure if unleashx would see the correct number order thought like it would see 10 as 1 then a 0 so 10 would come before 2 so what you can do is add numbers and letters like this 1a, 1b, 1c, and so on until you get all games done or you can just use three digit numbers like 001, 002, 003, and so on
