Kiosk Demo as USA parent?

Category: P/Clone

Trying to create a USA 1G1R collection from the NDS P/Clone XML I notice that some entries show a kiosk demo as the parent instead of the actual game.

Examples:

Mario & Luigi - Bowser's Inside Story (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk)
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk)
Mario Kart DS (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk)
Mario vs. Donkey Kong - Mini-Land Mayhem! (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) (NDSi Enhanced)

Hello,

- Brain Age 2 - More Training in Minutes a Day! (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Brain Age 2 - More Training in Minutes a Day! (USA) (En,Fr,Es)

- Feel the Magic - XY-XX (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Feel the Magic - XY-XX (USA) (En,Ja)
- Golden Sun - Dark Dawn (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Golden Sun - Dark Dawn (USA) (En,Es)
- Guitar Hero - On Tour - Modern Hits (USA) (En,Fr) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Guitar Hero - On Tour - Modern Hits (USA) (En,Fr) [b]
- Guitar Hero - On Tour (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Guitar Hero - On Tour (USA) (En,Fr)
- Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (USA) (En,Fr,Es)
- Mario & Luigi - Bowser's Inside Story (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Mario & Luigi - Bowser's Inside Story (USA) (En,Fr,Es)
- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)
- Mario Kart DS (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Mario Kart DS (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong - Mini-Land Mayhem! (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) (NDSi Enhanced) => Mario vs. Donkey Kong - Mini-Land Mayhem! (USA) (En,Fr,Es) (Rev 2) (NDSi Enhanced)

- Picross 3D (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => Picross 3D (USA) (En,Fr,Es)

- WALL-E (USA) (Demo) (Kiosk) => WALL-E (USA) (En,Fr,Es) (Rev 1)

I don't think there are other errors for now, except maybe their European/Japanese versions

So is the problem that the numbering for the kiosk demos is Zxxx?

When creating a 1G1R list with ROMCenter/CLRMAMEPro/etc. and there are multiple children in a Region does it just take the furthest down the list ?

I assume this is usually the most recent revision, but in this case the numbering scheme causes the Kiosk Demo to be chosen instead? Or am I totally wrong in my reasoning?

Can someone do something about this? The DAT picks (Demo) (Kiosk) over the actual game.

Another problem is that it picks the original version over the Rev 1, Rev 2, version.
