Prefined UI rotation
I’d like to see an option where I can set in what orientation LaunchBox will start. Currently it’s starting in the current device rotation. After rotating the screen it’ll reload the whole UI every time which is time consuming. Playing games is more convenient in landscape. So why not load it from the beginning in landscape?

I personally love how Launchbox is the only front end that allows me view my games in the way I'm currently holding my phone. Some platforms like DS allow you to play in portrait too. Would be a good option to have in the settings.

Can’t promise anything, but we have on our list to look into the possibility of adding an orientation lock option in a future release that would allow users to lock the orientation, separate from a user’s global option.
At the moment we deem this request:
Value: 7/10
Effort: 4/10
On another note, early days with this service, but I would watch out how you are utilizing the Usage Frequency, Urgency, and Importance fields, as if everything is always the most important thing, then nothing becomes the most important thing and those fields become useless.

so there’s the rotation lock option but there are some USB-C gamepads with the USB-C port on the left side.
Screen is rotated upside down because it’s locked to landscape, not landscape rotated 180.
