On some late evening the top of such a list has the evening<br>
news and American Idol for example. The oldest recordings for<br>
me are always the movies or specials that I've never made time<br>
to watch and may be several months old. If someone only had ten<br>
or twenty recordings total, oldest first may make sense but<br>
I don't think most people would want to scroll down over dozens<br>
(hundreds?) of recordings just to find the evening news. So,<br>
newest at the top typically makes more sense and myth gives<br>
you the option of reversing this (bug noted). The Delete<br>
Recordings page dates back to the early, early days of myth<br>
and the assumption appears to be that if you want to clear out<br>
crud, the oldest are the prime targets.<br>
<br>
Possibly what you want is ""Sort sub-titles Ascending,<br>
multi-titles Descending". This would put oldest "Stargate:<br>
Atlantis" at the top of the Stargate list but put the newest<br>
recordings at the top of the All Programs list.</blockquote><div><br>I actually have 124 recordings right now, but when navigating to a specific program I usually use the left side title list to do so. I did find the "subtitles ascending, multi-titles descending" option and that seems to do what I want it to do.<br>

would still need to block out for, say, an hour. The reason is<br>
a potentially nasty problem.<br>
<br>
Say Stargate is at the top of your list because you have eight<br>
of them. You finish watching the oldest and choose to delete.<br>
The popup clears but Stargate is still there. You try delete<br>
again hoping it works this time. You've just deleted two different<br>
episodes. Variation: you just finished watching the dramatic end<br>
of an episode and, um, rush to take a much needed break. When<br>
you come back, did you remember to delete? Is that the next<br>
episode or the last episode at the top of the list? You may<br>
need to watch part of it again to find out. Therefore, when a<br>
title is deleted, that title needs to disappear from the list.<br>
If the title is there, it hasn't been deleted. If it's deleted,<br>
it's gone.</blockquote><div><br>Interesting. I didn't think of that right of because I guess I would have paid attention to the episode title, but not every series provides those. Additionally I do have it so that it auto-sets the watched flag when I exit near the end of a recording (or I may even just delete it right from the "exit recording" menu), so whatever I just watched isn't going to be showing on the watch-list regardless.<br>
<br>I do let a few series pile up some episodes, but when I watch them, I may not watch them all back-to-back but I might watch two or three. For example, say there's an exciting cliff-hanger at the end of one episode and I decide I want to watch the next one right now, it would be nice to have it right there. Alternatively I may decide I want to watch something else on the list.<br>
<br>This isn't a huge deal because, as you say, I can always just go to the title the regular way, just one of those little things, you know?<br><br>I would like to mention at this point that I do really like this feature and think it will be very useful even if you never made any changes to it again, so I'm not just complaining here :).<br>
