Sort games by date bought

[Lagge]

When using the list view to see all your games, it would be handy if there'd be a column "date bought". Allowing one to sort the games in the order they where bought. Nowadays with these big bundles of games , it easy to miss some recently bought games on an ever growing list of owned games.

Mmmmmmm..... could be nice but I think we can live without it/

Would be nice to see this implemented

Although separate from your game list you can already see the order you bought your games.

Top right hand corner of steam click your username > Account details > Store transactions.

I know this doesn’t exactly answer your question but if your intension is to play through your games in purchase order you at least have something to refer to.

I really need this feature. Release date would be a plus as well.

[Revan343]

This would be a great feature to have.

Nice idea. Top marks.

+1. If nothing else, would love to see this exposed through the Web API.

+1. It really annoying this isn't already possible. A lot of times I'll buy a game because its on sale or looks interesting to play later but by time I have time to play it, it gets lost among the 800+ other games in my library. Like someone already said this is kind of possible using the store transaction page but that page doesn't link to the games so after you find one you have to search the store or library to find it then install it.

This would be a good option many of us forget what games we buy like here.

[Magron]

what an idiot. I'm still using that silly old 'icon on the desktop' to manage my games.

[sAnexeh]

+1 for this idea. Maybe that way I'll actually play games I bought during sales!

[kinarduk]

I'd like to +1 this as well, for the same reasons as above. When looking at the games now in "detail" view you can see a "Game purchased" label next to the install button, so they must have it stored. It would be VERY useful to be able to sort games by date purchased.

Thanks

[Jiblet]

Yes please.

Yeah, used to do that for years (still do), until your HDD (SSD) crashes and you reinstall everything (including the main Steam folder which was on the drive that committed harakiri), no more desktop icons & all my games were not installed when I reinstalled (no icons and the backups icons I had saved didn't work (had to change drive letter for Steam)) so right now I would have used it (sort list by: date, most played, etc). I don't even get why it's not implemented... it IS a list after all no?

Yeah true... we've been doing it since it's been out actually. Sure, we can live with substandard interfaces (list should be sort-able as they are in pretty much any windows applications with some exceptions -- Steam being one of them), but adding a functionality that takes a few days at most (it takes me a few minutes at most to add <sorts> functionality to my list when I program them) which would help tons of people from then on? No more suggestions or complaints. And this one(sort by date purchased), I have to admit, I find would be helpful for me as well, the reason I came to read about this.
