Wish there was an option to update metadata for games on our end and just more options for sorting in general. For alot of games, the developers just haven't added metadata for it or haven't added dates on them. So if you try to sort by the date when a game was released, you'll have some games that just don't have any date associated with them and they'll likely never be updated. I was trying to go through my Library in chronological order of game release date and found an annoying chunk of games that were like that.

One thing that would be cool would be some kind of rest API in the Steam client.

I believe they have a rest API, but it relies on your account settings being set to public to use.

That's only their servers, not the client. I can't install, uninstall, list installed games, add to collections, launch games and so on from that AFAIK
