Achievements App inconsistencies

The Xbox One achievements app has inconsistent ways of sorting and displaying achievements.

A few examples:



- When launching the app three sections are displayed: Featured Challenges, Xbox One, Other Achievements (being Xbox 360 ones).

I am not going to talk abot the featured challenges here as they are sort of their own thing.

Both the Xbox One and the Other (360) Achivements sections show a small overview of five games sorted after when the games were last played.



- When expanding the sections (by selecting the [...] button in the lower right corner of each section) to view all achievements different things happen:

All games listed under the Other (360) Achievements section are displayed based on when the games were last played, with the latest game played shown first. So, same logic as with the overview described before.

However, the expanded Xbox One section now display the list of games based on when an achievement was last earned in a game, as opposed to when the game was last played.



- When comparing games to a friend's games the two logics are mixed; 360 games are sorted based on when they were last played, and Xbox One games are mixed in based on when achievements were last earned in them.



This is confusing, and honestly a bit messy. I believe the games should be sorted in a consistent manner regardless of platform, especially since they are mixed together when comparing games to friends.

I personally would prefer that all games were sorted based on when they were last played, as opposed to being based on when an achievement was last earned. I'll give a few examples why:



- I sometimes like to perform a little "game maintenance" which means launching all my games to see if new title updates are available and to check for ingame updates, etc. After doing this the other day I have now realized that if a friend wishes to compare
an Xbox One game to me, he/she first has to scroll through more than 130 Xbox 360 games since the Xbox One games are not sorted based on when they were last played, but the 360 ones are. Most of my Xbox games are completed 100% so I can't even earn an achievement
to move them up the list.



- When watching your own Xbox One achievements the problem is not so serious today since not that many games are released for the Xbox One yet. But imagine in a few years when gamers own hundreds of Xbox One titles. The frustration of having to scroll back
and forth trying to remember which date an achievement was last earned in a specific game... as opposed to being able to remember which games you played the last couple of days.



Bottom line, please make the Xbox One achievements app sort and handle things in a consistent manner, preferably sorting all games based on when they were last played and not on when achievements were last earned in them.

Thanks

What are your top 3 favorite features of the Xbox One?

Top three features that could be great but are currently fucking garbage:

1. Snapping is a slow, buggy mess which most apps aren't properly designed for.
2. Voice commands have been continuously inconsistent and rarely work on your first attempt.
3. The app hub, or whatever that app is called which pulls shows from multiple media apps, is idiotically designed and regulated.

... it should have said "Most of my Xbox ONE games are completed 100%". Just to be clear why this is a problem, since it means they are stuck in the back of the list of games.
