Overview
By making more folders inside of the Seasons folder in Data Disk Mode and moving games into those folders, sections will be made in the launcher (like the pre-made Season 1 and Catalog sections) with the title of the folder and will display the games inside of that folder.
How To
1. Launch your Playdate into Data Disk Mode and connect it to your computer
2. Navigate to the inside of the Seasons folder (located in PLAYDATE> Games> Seasons)
3. Make new folders and title them whatever you want the new section to be labeled
4. Move the games you want into that folder
5. Eject and Reboot your Playdate
Notes
While sorting alphabetically in the same organization session will always work, there seems to be some sort of meta-data in play when deciding the order for the sections to show up.
