[4.20] Saves are all shown if the list is sorted by name or date

Post by -=SiR KiLLaLoT=- » Mon, 17. Jan 22, 15:36

Greetings!

I accidentally found this problem when loading a save.
In my save folder I have some autosave renamed, but if you sort the list by name or date, they are still shown.
This does not happen if the list is sorted by number.

I do not know if it is a desired or known option, so here is the reason for the report.

Bye :)

I can think of one potential reason for that.

Sort by number is the default and renamed saves with no number are not shown, and especially not at the top of the listing. I suspect this is so that newer players do not get confused and load by mistake an older save (such as one they downloaded or backed-up earlier to experiment with) that then goes on to overwrite their actual latest gameplay autosaves and quicksave if they play on from the old save unknowingly. For more experienced players that would probably be their conscious decision to do so.

Got it, thanks for the tip :)

However, I find it to be a great "hidden feature" and now I no longer need to rename a save to be "read" from the game.
