Hey!
Is it possible to categorize games by the Library they come from?
In the old Steam library this was automatically the case, but in the new library, games from family sharing are in the Uncategorized Category.
As far as i can find, this is currently not possible, it should 100% be re-implemented.

+1 i've made a post about this too. with coming up to 1k games of my own in addition to family sharing its painful trying to filter them out

Exactly. The old library system allowed us to select the games by actual owner (for people who use family sharing).

....Now it just bundles everything together as a single mess, and I have to handpick the games that are actually from my library and the ones that are from my friends and siblings.

It is much needed feature indeed!

+1, this is very confusing, please bring back filter by ownership

...Good luck trying to remember which of the 500 + games are yours.. Why even take out the old filtering? It's quite an inconvenience if you happen to waste time installing a game that isn't yours and your friend pops online to cancel that gaming session.

Please yes!
I want to sort the games from my family sharing to a category, without clicking all his 400 games to find my 70.
I started to click each game in "uncategorized", just to sort it manually.
It was super annoying and i stoped it for now.

Thats a no go for parents who want to have an eye on the librariesof their kids, but don't want to have all these informations this games give into the Portal. And for all others who share their PCs and have different playstyles.

There should be an dropdown option in intelligent categories for chosing "own" or "<FamilyAccountName>" or "all".

Also there should be an option for "hiding Family games from news".

The old view still had a categorizing, why was this removed?
An official statement would be nice about if this feature is on the view list for Developement.
