Does it know enough to sort the shows by the original air date?
Sometimes when catching up on shows that I'm starting to watch
mid-season re-runs get recorded amongst new episodes. That's great
since I'm catching up, but of course I'd rather watch the shows in the
original order where possible. I sort by recordings by original air
date to make this easy - will this watch list do the same?
It isn't necessary to consider original recording date when comparing
different shows, but in general the list shouldn't tell me to watch
Episode 3 of some series before Episode 1 regardless of the date either
was recorded (3 might have been recorded before 1).
This sort of thing can also happen on Cable Networks - since there are
lots of showtimes to choose from and things could happen pretty flexibly
as MythTV magically resolves as many conflicts as it can.
