[no Bug] Recorded TV is now defaulting to sorting by oldest first. (1 Viewer)

[wogier]

MediaPortal Version: 1.6.0

Description
Prior to 1.6.0 final, Recorded TV when sorted by date was showing newest items at the top.
This has now changed to be reversed.
If I manually choose to sort again by date it displays newest first but always reverts back.

Is there any way I can go back to the behaviour from 1.5.0 and previous?

Steps to Reproduce:
Layout: List
Sort: Date
View by: Recordings

Recordings are listed in newest first date, but once you select a folder the date is reversed.

Hi and welcome wogier,

When you sort by Date, you need to press ArrowRight once to focus is on the tiny ^ (whichs sets ascending/descending)

Set it like this and it should be fixed (working fine here for root & subfolders)

Thank you for the reply HomeY.
I can toggle ascending/descending correctly with that ^, however upon going back and re-entering a folder it always defaults to oldest first.

That's really weird. I'm unable to reproduce that.
I've set ascending & descending and both options work fine, even when i leave TV Recordings and re-enter it.

Hi HomeY,

Please find my debug logs attached.

As expected thers is no sorting info in the logs. I see you enter the TV Recordings and exit it again, but that's it.
@Testers has anybody else seen this problem? Can someone confirm this issue?

I tried this and cannot duplicate.
Set to Oldest first and exited, went back in, setting stayed
Set to Newest first and exited, went back in, setting stayed

It's looking likely that this is only affecting me.
Is there any way to manually set the sort order?

If not, what would be the recommended method of resolution?

Open your MediaPortal.xml file, located in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal

search for:

<section name="tvrecorded">

The section should be configured as follows:

  <section name="tvrecorded">
    <entry name="layout">0</entry>
    <entry name="sortasc">yes</entry>
    <entry name="sort">date</entry>
  </section>

 

[wogier]

Thank you again.
Unfortunately it seems that is already set to

<entry name="sortasc">yes</entry>

If I set it to

<entry name="sortasc">no</entry>

it doesn't impact the behaviour in any way.

Do you have any suggestions?
