I just want to sort by install location.
Genuine question, why is that useful?
On Steam Deck, Steam supports hotswapping SD cards, so you can have multiple cards loaded with different games and quickly swap between them. Less useful for PCs.
Ah I see, that would be useful for the steam deck then.
I wonder though, why not just remove the games you don't have available on that sdcard? Wouldn't that make more sense?
Well, because sometimes I want to play those games.
So on deck, you just get an “installed” list in a sort of Big Picture-esque interface. You can sort it, but games that are installed on the internal drive are listed in-line with games on the SD, which can make it difficult to tell exactly which games are on the SD and which are on the internal at a glance.
