When selecting the SORT BY drop-down menu for Latest played, the launcher does not respect actual last-played ordering at all.
In the attached screen clip, I have played the Installation titled “My Server Pack v3” over a dozen times across multiple days and computer reboots, and haven’t touched any of the other Installations for months at this point. Yet it still remains far down the list instead of toward the top when sorting by Latest played order. It doesn’t matter if I close the game instance launched by it naturally (via its menu option to exit) or with the window close X button, the list never updates to the proper ordering. Sorting by Name does work as intended, so my suspicion is that the metric of last play timestamp isn’t being properly logged or read.
