Adds optional custom ordering for the root emulator/core list (main menu).

I verified that when the file is absent, root emulator list remains alphabetical.
I also verified that when the file is present, matching entries are pulled into the specified order.
Similarly verified that non-matching entries remain and are sorted alphabetically after the ordered section.

It looks for: emu_order.txt (preferred), order.txt (secondary)

  • Directly under the ROMs root directory
  • One entry per line
  • Ignores empty lines and comments (# / ;)
  • Case-insensitive
  • Default behavior unchanged when file is missing, so it's not intrusive.

Currently recognizes:

(ATARI)
(FIFTYTWOHUNDRED)
(7800)
(LYNX)

etc.
