Add a sort by genre to the new library

[Cherrycat]

Some of the options you have like size on disk are silly, splitting games by base genre makes a lot more sense.

There is a sort by Genre in the new library. It is in the list of sorting options, to the right of the search.

Click on a game and it is right below the game banner.

We need more options of more descriptive Genres and Store Tags to choose from in my opinion. The current selection is inadequate. Such search & sort functions are only as useful as the extensiveness & diversity of the tags available.

The tag for my favorite genre doesn't even exist, here or in the store.

Size on disk makes perfect sense as a sorting option though.

Some people have massive libraries, and occasionally want to remove some games to free up disk space for new ones.

The size on disk option can help with figuring out which games to remove to make room for new ones.

Also, genre sorting is a thing in the new Steam Client Beta. Check it out if you haven't already.

You can search via any tag or genre by filling it into the search bar

I don't think you understood the full-context of what I was saying. I actually mentioned the searchable Store tags that are used in the Library search bar. There's a similar topic I responded to where I covered this subject a bit better in my response to this user's post:

The search & sort functions are only as useful as the extensiveness & diversity of the tags available ...and the tags available & in use could be much better. Part of the problem is that the way tagging games is set up, it disincentivizes users to use tags that other people haven't thought of before or aren't in the popular lexicon.
