Sorting Beta Branches in Steam

Post by nuhll »

Yeah, i would like that the Beta versions get sorted, when i play with my friends its always like this: use the 14, which 14? 14.14! 14.10??? ...

so the newest is on top:

0.14.14
0.14.13
.. and so on.

So i could just say use the latest...^^

Steam orders the branches in the Betas tab alphabetically, which sometimes makes for a confusing order.
The devs would have to prefix all their betas with a numerical value or something similar to order them, which could also make this confusing.

The latest experimental build is always the one without a fixed version number, it is experimental-0.14 - The latest experimental build. This is the most recent one and will be automatically updated everytime a new experimental is released.
If you choose an experimental version with version number (0.14.14, 0.14.10, ...) then it will stay at that version and never update.

Other than making it 0.14.02 etc., not possible. Also I can't just reverse the order, as it is an internal Steam thing.

I think the other idea viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22210 Static "latest" headless download link
would solve this problem.
