-And various improvements to the `Edit Mod` dialog:
+With the new addition, it's now possible to add user friendly names to each configuration item:
 
-- Fixed: `unknown apps` (games not added to Reloaded) being removed after a mod is edited via the GUI.
-- Added: Mods can now add support for `unknown apps` (games not added to Reloaded) via the UI.  
-- Fixed: The view filter (search) in the `Edit Mod` dialog is reset on switching pages.
-- Added: You can now see the `AppId` of enabled games in the `Edit Mod` dialog.
+```csharp
+public enum SampleEnum
+{
+    [Display(Name = "No Opinion 🤷")]
+    NoOpinion,
+    [Display(Name = "It's Sucks! 👎")]
+    Sucks,
+    [Display(Name = "It's mediocre 😐")]
+    IsMediocre,
+    [Display(Name = "It's okay! 👍")]
+    IsOk,
+    [Display(Name = "It's cool! 😎")]
+    IsCool,
+    [Display(Name = "I Love It!!! ❤️🔥")]
+    ILoveIt,
+}
+```

-# 1.28.7: Fix Crash on Load Ordering with Keyboard/Controller
+## Explicit Item Ordering by @RyoTune 
 
-Moving a mod that was already at the end of the list further down (out of bounds) led to a crash.
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/466ffc2c-ed19-4ec7-bf05-43d054fbd0e4)
 
-This was somehow overlooked by everyone for years; it's fixed now.
+```csharp
+[Display(Order = 0)]
+public int OrderFirst { get; set; }
 
-# 1.28.6: Path/Location Warnings & Minor Theme Adjustment 
+[Display(Order = 1)]
+public int OrderSecond { get; set; }
 
-- @dreamsyntax added [warnings for when Reloaded and/or the `Mods` folder are placed in OneDrive](https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/Reloaded-II/pull/518), or are placed in a special path.
+[Display(Order = 2)]
+public int OrderThird { get; set; }
+```
 
-![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7ad44f76-8565-4684-9d03-33cb6fd1dde3)
+Lower order means items come first.
 
-![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f9d3460c-1f6e-4bad-bf9f-a98040fbc8d5)
+Do note that this is inverted from the original PR; so if you originally wrote your mod against [Reloaded II.5 ReMIX](https://github.com/RyoTune/Reloaded-II.5) fork, it may be the opposite to what you expected.
 
-OneDrive you want to avoid for performance reasons.
-Special paths you want to avoid because some games don't support them well. Some games may fail to load custom assets out of the mod folders; Reloaded now warns about this indiscriminately.
+## Launcher Error Reporting by @TheBestAstroNOT + @Sewer56 
 
-- @dreamsyntax added [a warning for when a game is places in a path with a special folder](https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/Reloaded-II/pull/516).
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/83be5235-d6ee-46ee-932d-a2af6cf88c7e)
 
-![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3c0ff36-1231-4149-92f2-e96564ff7417)
+Launcher errors now give you the option to print the error details to a text file.
 
-Same as above. Sometimes people download old games through 'mysterious ways', place them in a special location and try to mod them before trying even an unmodded game. This way they'll hopefully know that the path may be a problem.
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4ebf6b82-498d-4c35-b7b0-01870389dc12)
 
-- @dreamsyntax made [a small adjustment on the UI colours](https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/Reloaded-II/issues/500).
+Hopefully this is a bit friendlier for end users 🤞.

+## Improved Missing Loader Error by @TheBestAstroNOT + @Sewer56 
 
-![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/753085f5-ad64-4a6b-81d5-d7e9990eca3c)
+Sometimes users do the following:
 
-After:
+- Use the `Deploy ASI Loader` feature in Reloaded, and then uninstall Reloaded.
+- Use the `Deploy ASI Loader` feature and then move the Reloaded folder.

+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/24d4bb31-ee41-4bd0-8046-f5619a6d513d)
 
-In the interest of accessibility, and people using monitors with interesting contrast ratios; the following adjustment above was made.
-The Reloaded theme was originally made on a cheap TN panel; however for some IPS displays and beyond, this change makes a lot of sense.
+The error message for missing Mod Loader DLL was updated to account for these situations.
+The user is now explicitly let known how to resolve the error.
