Is there a way to view your collection by the date you added an item? I know you can see the last 5 items you added in that little code bit in your posts but it would be nice to sort either by newest addition or oldest as sometimes I can't remember what games I've picked up in months past.

To my knowledge, no. The only way I think you can do it is if you export your collection as a csv file (vgcollect.com/settings) and then open it in Microsoft Excel you can sort it however you want. I'd like a few sorting features too but for now the csv spreadsheet file works for me.

^ that's what I'd do :)

I had posted about this awhile back (maybe a year or more ago).
I wish I could see everyone's collection in that format.
There isn't a way to download a CSV of someone's collection other than your own is there?

Nope, but you can post a new suggestion thread for it if you want. If anything, I'm sure it'd be something the other person would have allow for, like if the two of you follow each other, but I doubt it will be a feature that would be implemented anytime soon, if at all. The best thing you could do is ask someone for their CSV of their collection, but people put some very detailed information into their items that they might not like to share.

All joking aside - thanks for the idea.
