Filtering and sorting is not a big problem, that does not have much to do with 
the storage format. The bigger problem is that KHighscore currently saves 
exactly 10 highscores, which makes filtering quite pointless. I also do not 
really like to save all highscores, because this could massively increase the 
loading time of the score dialog.

It's progressing very well (just have a look on Planet KDE). If you like to 
leave your signature in the game, you can draw some puzzle table textures. 
Eugene has already created one SVG texture, and I've selected some JPG 
textures from a big GPL'd collection of seamless tiles. All of them are in the 
subdirectory src/pics/. When you add your texture, also add it to the list in 
CMakeLists.txt to install it, and use the right mouse button on the puzzle 
table to select a texture.

Greetings
