Guide: How to sort PSN games alphabetically
Hello dear forum members,
I am an unexperienced user and I have a question for you.
(Sorry, if I posted that thread on the wrong section.)
In case you want to know:
PS3 Slim CECH-2104A, FW 3.41 with GT-Break.
I own some PSN games and I created an album (named: PSN games).
The problem is that the PS3 only sorts them by their date and format.
It does not make much sense because I want to sort them alphabetically.
Videos, Pictures, Songs are sorted automatically, by the way.
Yesterday I ran the AweSomeFileManager in order to check some files.
Then I saw this file:
explore_view.txt
Code:
root.view_selected.photo=view_photo.album&root.view_selected.music=view_music.album&root.view_selected.video=view_video.album&root.view_selected.vmc=view_vmc.all&root.view_selected.savedata_ps2=view_savedata_ps2.all&root.view_selected.savedata_ps3=view_savedata_ps3.title&root.view_selected.game=view_game.tags&root.view_selected.friend=view_friend.all&root.view_selected.trophy_title=view_trophy_title.all&root.view_selected.trophy=view_trophy.all&root.view_selected.trophy_ex=view_trophy_ex.all&root.view_selected.friendtrophy_title=view_friendtrophy_title.all&root.view_selected.friendtrophy=view_friendtrophy.all&root.view_selected.savedata_psp=view_savedata_psp.all&root.sort_selected.photo_month=sort_photo.time_created_ascend&root.sort_selected.photo_year=sort_photo.time_created_ascend&root.sort_selected.photo_album=sort_photo.time_created_ascend&root.sort_selected.photo_all=sort_photo.time_created_ascend&root.sort_selected.music_album=sort_music.track_number_ascend&root.sort_selected.music_artist=sort_music.list_title_ascend&root.sort_selected.music_genre=sort_music.player_ascend&root.sort_selected.music_track_initial=sort_music.title_ascend&root.sort_selected.music_year=sort_music.player_ascend&root.sort_selected.music_all=sort_music.player_ascend&root.sort_selected.video_title_initial=sort_video.title_ascend&root.sort_selected.video_imported_month=sort_video.time_imported_descend&root.sort_selected.video_album=sort_video.title_ascend&root.sort_selected.video_all=sort_video.time_imported_descend&root.sort_selected.vmc_all=sort_vmc.time_created_descend&root.sort_selected.savedata_ps2_all=sort_savedata_ps2.time_modified_descend&root.sort_selected.savedata_ps3_title=sort_savedata_ps3.time_modified_descend&root.sort_selected.savedata_ps3_all=sort_savedata_ps3.title_ascend&root.sort_selected.game_format=sort_game.time_created_descend&root.sort_selected.game_tags=sort_game.time_created_ascend&root.sort_selected.game_all=sort_game.time_created_descend&root.sort_selected.friend_all=sort_friend.presence_descend&root.sort_selected.trophy_title_all=sort_trophy_title.time_last_updated_descend&root.sort_selected.trophy_group=sort_trophy_group.default&root.sort_selected.trophy_all=sort_trophy.default&root.sort_selected.friendtrophy_title_all=sort_friendtrophy_title.all&root.sort_selected.friendtrophy_all=sort_friendtrophy.all&root.sort_selected.friendtrophy_group_all=sort_friendtrophy_group.all&root.sort_selected.savedata_psp_title=sort_savedata_psp.time_modified_descend&root.sort_selected.savedata_psp_all=sort_savedata_psp.time_modified_descend&root.view_sort_selected.photo_month=sort_photo_month.list_title_ascend&root.view_sort_selected.photo_year=sort_photo_year.list_title_ascend&root.view_sort_selected.music_album=sort_music_album.list_title_ascend&root.view_sort_selected.music_year=sort_music_year.list_title_descend&xs_root.sort_selected.friend_presence=sort_friend.title_ascend_only
Now it makes we wonder:
What if I changed the part:
Code:
sort_game.time_created_descend&root.sort_selected.game_tags=sort_game.time_created_ascend&root.sort_selected.game_all=sort_game.time_created_descend
to
Code:
sort_game.title_descend&root.sort_selected.game_tags=sort_game.title_ascend&root.sort_selected.game_all=sort_game.title_descend
?
Do you think it could work?
Unfortunatelly, I am not able to test it for the next few days.
(My PS3 is at home, but I am not at home.)
Furthermore I am afraid that I could "brick" my console.
Maybe some of you have already had such an idea.
Thank you and sorry for my English.
SOLUTION:
Start the AwesomeFileManager and go to:
dev_hdd0/home/00000001/etc and copy the file explore_view.txt to a USB stick.
Then modify the line:
Quote:
root.sort_selected.game_format=sort_game.time_crea ted_descend&root.sort_selected.game_tags=sort_game .time_created_ascend&root.sort_selected.game_all=sort_game.time _created_descend
to
Quote:
root.sort_selected.game_format=sort_game.time_crea ted_descend&root.sort_selected.game_tags=sort_game .title_ascend&root.sort_selected.game_all=sort_game.time _created_descend
Now you can put your changed file back to its directory.
(But don't forget to backup the old one.)
While you are in the AwesomeFileManager you can press the home button and check if everything is okay.
(If not you can simply use your old file.)
P.S. This should work for Signed PKG files as well!!
