TINY UPDATE
Desktop Version 🖥
- Miscellanous Custom Sort Names: Utilized Steams newest and latest update for sorting. For example, now when shortcuts are created with NSL, they will be sorted by their Launcher. If you type, "Epic Games" or "Ubisoft Connect" in your library any newly created shortcut now with NSL will be listed and sorted respectively. Its pretty cool because now i can actually see whats installed by what launcher just by typing the name. This plus Collections makes everything nice and neat. Old shortcuts will need to be recreated as this is for all shortcuts now going forward.
Here is what i mean, tested with epic games and game jolt just as examples

i searched for game jolt games and they were listed
