That was quick. Just two weeks after Valve posted a new Steam beta that allows remote game downloads, it now has a truly polished release for everyone. Both Mac and Windows gamers can now queue up demos and full games, whether it's from a browser at work or from the Steam mobile app.

Great feature. I just wish that if they were going to take the time to implement something like this, they would implement some things like custom names and drag-and-drop reordering of your games in your library.
Maybe I don't want "SUPER ELITE COLLECTORS EDITION" or whatever after the title of my games. I'm also sick of some of my games being out of chronological order in my library.

I made a thread about it on the Steam forums a while ago.

You can rename games I think. I renamed "The Elder scrolls V: Skyrim" to "Skyrim".

You're right though, the only order is alphabetical, or "recently played"

Whoah, really? How do you do it? I can't find any option like that under steam and google isn't getting me anything.

Right click the game, go to properties and you can edit the name. (I know this works for when you 'Add Non-Steam Game' but I have not tried it with a game bought/registered on steam.
