Saved Game Sorting

I see that in your pic, they are sorting by date, but not by time.  Meaning that you saved "Test1", came back and saved "Test22222222".  So if there are 12 saves for that day, then the latest one will be at the bottom.  See pic #2.


In my pic shows it a little better.  As I number my saves in order.  What about sorting by date & time?  So that the users latest save is at the top?

Cheers!

Good eye! You're correct, the way its currently done is save by date only no time. 

I was going to add the time to the save for more accurate sorting but unfortunately that will mess up everyone's save files next time they try to load.

I have the code ready but I decided to wait until I do a major update or when I figure out a way to load old saves with no time.

Thanks very much for reporting!

Cheers!

I don't know your current algorithm for sorting.  But what if you used the actual date & time stamps from the saved files?  Is there a real need to store the date and times "inside" the file?

Hmmm... I don't see why not.............................

I'll definitely look into it, thank you very much!
