MameWah lists in alphabetical order only as far as I'm aware. (Except for those 'most played' lists.)

Ok, Here's a hack to do it and I'd imagine totally unsupported.  Total Hack.

MAMEWAH seems to alphabetize based on game name.  Open up your Lst file and change the name of the games so that they will alphabetize in the order you want.  The LST file has 13 entries for each game, some entries may of may not be filled out.  The first entry is the rom name, the second is the game name.  Only change the game name.

ex. LST file with donkey kong and pacman.  MAMEWAH will now display Pacman first.

Don't futz with it too much or you may have to regenerate your list.  I suggest backing up before you start.
