Order in which the systems appear in the main menu

[MichaelK]

Good morning forum!

I'm trying to customize the Recalbox interface by arranging the order in which the systems appear in the main menu. For this I am editing the file "es_systems.cfg" located in the path /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/

The file will have a string of values configuration since it does not work to copy and paste the systems in the order that I want them to appear

How should I do it?

Thank you!!!

@MichaelK See this tutorial:

If you prefer, I know that ARRM besides scraping games, has an option to change the order of the consoles:

@Zing for some unknown reason I cannot set "favorites" in first position. I have managed to sort all the systems but only "NES" always appears last. Does anyone know why this is and how can I change it?

@MichaelK

I cannot set "favorites" in first position

yes, if you read the tutorial calmly, at the end of it you are informed that it is not possible to put the favorites first.

@MichaelK About NES:
Please make sure that you have not done something wrong, there is supposedly no reason why this system has always been in last position, most likely you have made a wrong configuration (usually a typo, sometimes a space typed incorrectly: interferes and is not so easy to visualize ...).
