2. Select All Software
3. Press L Button to view your Groups
4. Select “Create a Group” or press the + Button
5. Choose which games you want in the Group and press Next
6. Change the order of the titles and press Next
7. Give the Group a name and confirm

The first time you go to Groups, you will be prompted to create a Group. After you make your first one, you can make a new Group by visiting the same page and pressing the + Button. When looking at the Group page, users can also press the Y Button to sort the groups. This allows the user to rearrange the order of the folders like they can the order of the games within a Group.

A game can be in as many different Groups as you want. This is useful if you want to organize all your games by genre, whether you’ve completed them or not, or games for specific users or moods. It’s a neat new system that should give those with larger libraries more organizational options.
