The fact that they somehow still haven't commented on this is making me a little uneasy. Like maybe there's a big change about to happen, one that might cause some backlash. Speculation aside, seriously, something needs to be said about this. This being an issue at all is kind of ridiculous, but to not even officially acknowledge it is inexcusable.

I do wonder if this is less of a bug and more of them doing something behide the scenes that is indirectly causing this. Like when they rolled out cloud saves for Galaxy they had to do it in stages over a few weeks (or longer) because of the sheer load of enabling it for all accounts at one time. I assume something like that could impact the database.

I hope it can be fixed soon, I'm a little obsessive with my collection display, I've spent hours having the games organized using Tags so everything is where I wanted it to be, with my favorites at the top of the page and games from a series or from the same company grouped together.

I wish there was official word on what's going on and how long it may take to fix it, not knowing what's going on or if the issue is even being addressed is worse than having bad news. :(

After reading through the thread I'm glad I am not alone in this. At first I thought GOG was removing games from my library or that I was going senile :P

Found the solution! Whoo hoo! Got it!

It's real easy to fix. It has a lot to do with the hidden games staying hidden, and that the games that aren't hidden are still not hidden. That part still works. Flawlessly!

So, this is what to do about the list of games showing up randomly.

-----BEGIN SOLUTION----- Play a game. Any game. Specifically: STOP STARIGN AT TEH capin' LIST!!!1!!!1
-----END SOLUTION-----

The games wouldn't be there if you didn't like them. They'd be in the hidden section. Therefore, any game will be fine. Just pick one and play it. Or else, choose to hide it and get it out of the way of the games worth playing.

Spoiler ahead! WARNING! Spoiler!

-----BEGIN SPOILER-----
Within a month GOG will make the list be sortable again instead of randomized. I'm not saying which month that will be, but it definitely will be in a month when it happens. That's just a consequence of using a calendar that has months in it.
-----END SPOILER-----

In the mean time, play a game already! Why else did you buy 'em?!

The games are completely digital, and so they aren't going to become more valuable like antiques by not opening them. Maybe not. Okay, I don't know that for sure. I've yet to find documentation on that.

Oh, but if by chance you happen to end up hiding all your games, then clicking a button to randomly sort your hidden games might be the point-n-click adventure you are looking for. I'm pretty sure that was in the Terms of Service somewhere. (If you don't find something about that in there, then please try again. Please.)

LOL, They are never gonna get me to play the 300+ backlog games I accumulated in the years I was here.

i don't expect from gog to fix that annoying bug and if they do then it will be again a shitty attempt to to force us to use galaxy. as i already said broken things are a core value of gog and f*ck gogs greedy spineless shareholders

I can't believe this hasn't been addressed yet. Many props to GOG for all of the amazing releases over this past week, but it's all for naught if I can't easily find them in my library. Please fix this!

GOG Please fix sorting issue.

I thought I was going crazy with my shelf playing "musical chairs" until I found this thread but now it's confirmed: yes, i'm going crazy.

Same thing happening here seems like Carmageddon Max damage wont sit still for 5 minutes before running off onto another shelf.

I would expect Carmaggedon to be a title wanting to be in constant motion.

The annoying thing is where the game is a series. Here's Descent. Now where the hell is Descent 2? And why The Witcher is not beside Assasins of Kings?

My wishlist is in title order now.

Games order is still an issue.
