    I noticed that PSX roms are the only ones that aren't in numerical/ alphabetical order. Is this because you didn't notice or haven't finished uploading them?

    They look preety close to me, is your filter set to alphabettical, acending?

    Numbers to letters, even release ID is accurate.

    yep its in order, but I meant that in numerical order its not in alphabetical order completely

    Copy and paste some example, or do a screen capture.


    I've had it happen before, refreashing the browser fixed it.

    PSX doesn't have a numerical order. There was never a "scene" to release them as they were created and assign them an arbitrary number. So release ID is meaningless when it comes to PSX games. Pretty much the only games that it works on are the GBA and NDS games, everything else doesn't have an ID.

    We discussed alphabetical order, he claims some are not in order in the filter.

    They seem fine to me on first glance-I have no time to trawl thru A to Z.

    No, he said:

    Alphabetical Order = Alphabetical Order.
    Numerical Order = Order by release ID

    But since the PSX games have no real release ID, they are placed in a random order determined by something else. So they will not be in Alphabetical Order. It only appears to be since the first page has a bunch of games listed as "A" but the 7th or 8th page have numbers and Vs and Ws. It is not alphabetical order. If the user wants alphabetical order, they should sort by alphabetical order and not release ID.

    I understand, you can lock this now.

    That's not exactly correct. There was a scene to release the games, but the scene has never, ever, ever, ever added release numbers to their releases. Usually some site that lists released games does that. Sadly it caught on with GBA and NDS so the rest of us are sort of forced to keep up the practice. =/
