First post guys, love the FE, very glad I got hip to it in the early goings so I didn't have a lot of catching up to do. I think this FE has HUGE potential.

Here's my question. How are people sorting their MAME.xml database after they add a new game theme? I realize that for the time being, everyone is adding themes manually. But is everyone going in and manually finding the correct alphabetical position in the xml database to insert the new themes like I do? In case it has any bearing on the discussion, I am using XML Notepad (Microsoft) to edit MAME.xml.

Thanks,

You have 2 options for now:

Manually the way your doing now or have hyperHQ make an entire list. Soon hyperHQ will be able to do what you need, he's still workih on it.

Also Im making HyperTheme have an installer so when you download a theme it will install it into your folders properly and also add a database entry upon request.

PERFECT. That will be a big time saver, especially when the Themes start really rolling in.
Thanks again, Triple B.
