I have tried editing the channel numbers, dragging the channels to new posiotions in the TV Server Configuration and even directly editing the TV Server DB, but nothing I do affects the order in which channels are displayed in the Guide. Curiously, the channel numbers I assigned in the TV Server Configuration even occupy a field named "sortId" in the DB. Why then aren't the channels sorted in this order? How can I get my Guide sorted by TV channel number?

If you use channel groups make sure that you are sorting then channels inside the groups.

, that was it!

P.S. Rejoiced too soon
The guide sequence looks reasonable now, but the channel selection is very squirrely.
If I select channel 1 on my remote, the screen briefly displays the desired channel number (1), but with the text "n-tv" (should be "SF 1") and then proceeds to "TSR 1" (channel 33). Any ideas? Attached is an export of the channel configuration.

Try checking the option MP config\television, you should have "select channel by index enabled".

HTH

Thanks, Ray,
It was already selected that way.
After a reboot, it is behaving more the way I would expect, except that it takes a few seconds to change channels.
Maybe MP "got it's knickers in a twist" while I was fixing up the WebEPG.
