Add Alphabetical Sorting Within Arrange By Groups

📋 Summary

Add an option to sort games alphabetically within grouped Arrange By sections.


❗ Problem

Some Arrange By options group games into sections, such as Star Rating or Release Year.

When these groups are created, users may still want the games inside each section to be sorted alphabetically by title. Without this, grouped views can feel harder to browse, especially in large libraries.


💡 Proposal

Add an option to sort games alphabetically within each Arrange By group.

For example:

  • Arrange By: Star Rating

  • Groups: 5 Stars, 4 Stars, 3 Stars

  • Games inside each group: sorted A-Z by title

This could apply to grouped Arrange By views such as star rating, release year, and other similar categories.


🧩 Use Cases

  • Browse 5-star games alphabetically

  • View games by release year while keeping each year easy to scan

  • Restore a preferred browsing style for users who liked the previous behavior


📦 Benefits

  • Makes grouped views easier to navigate

  • Improves browsing for large libraries

  • Gives users more control over sorting behavior

  • Preserves flexibility for different library organization preferences


⚠️ Considerations

This should likely be an optional secondary sort setting so users who prefer the current behavior can keep it.
