The wording is a little confusing.  On page 4 of Setup->Video->Playback you
will see "Episode sort orderings" and the options are:
  1. Sort all sub-titles/multi-titles Ascending
  2. Sort all sub-titles/multi-titles Descending
  3. Sort sub-titles Descending, multi-titles Ascending.
  4. Sort sub-titles Ascending, multi-titles Descending.

I use option 4.  The default is option 1.

Below that you will see "Sort Episodes" which only affect the "sub-titles",
with the options:
  1. Record date
  2. Season/Episode
  3. Original air date.
  4. Program ID

The mult-titles (group list) is always sorted by record date.

Personally, I would like to change this to be three settings.
   1. Group list  (Ascending/Descending)
   2. Episode list (Ascending/Descending)
   3. Episode list sort type (Record date, Season/Episode, Original air
date, Program ID)

It also would be nice to have the "Episode list sort type" be available as
part of the pop up menu on the "Watch Recordings" screen.
