Library

• Added sort by Steam Review to shelves and app grids.

• Improved library filtering for Korean game titles when typing in Hangul.
  
• Fixed an issue where removing the last non-Steam game from a collection would cause it to spontaneously reappear at a later time.
  
• Fixed non-Steam games with the "Include in VR Library" checkbox checked not appearing in dynamic collections with VR hardware support selected
  
• Fixed hidden achievements sometimes still appearing as hidden in the activity feed even after being achieved
