That is the behaviour that I see (also on DVB-T in the UK). I have
never raised it as I assumed that it was the intended behaviour. It
would be good for me too if it would take account of the settings that
let us choose to order every other list by recording date or by
season/episode.

To elaborate slightly on the use case: It's fairly common for
different channels to be showing different seasons of the same show at
the same time (as in, same week, not necessarily same moment).
Sometimes we even get the same channel showing different seasons at
different times of day. Personally I'd usually rather watch the
earliest in the series next rather than the one that was recorded the
longest time ago. I can do this, of course, but not through the Watch
List.
