0001222: Request for QuickSave/Load and/or Sort-by-Date functionalities
Currently, as long as 0000612 & 0000716 are not resolved, it's quite difficult to find even the game you just saved in the list, which makes the testing experience a bit frustrating.

It would come very much in handy if we had either QuickSave/QuickLoad functions, or the ability to sort by date.
How it is implemented, it's not that important, but here are some suggestions:

Quicksave/Quickload:
- H3 ERA had F5 for QuickSave (no QuickLoad)
- H5 had F6 for QuickSave & F9 for QuickLoad (F5 & F8 being the normal Save & Load)
- I don't think the other titles had QuickSave/Load, but feel free to use whichever keys you find more intuitive, but best is something in the F5-F9 range I believe

Sort Games:
No ideal solution I guess, but maybe clicking in the area where the date & time of the game are displayed could do it, or the map size button next to it. At least as temporary solution, until someone designs a new button or something, and then we re-assign the function.

Feel free to implement whichever you find more convenient and mark it as Resolved. We'll see then if just 1 solution is enough to be comfortable (and if not, I'll create another report for the remaining and close this one).
