[mythtv] upnp sort order - proposed patch

Using the UPNP feature on a stock TV, I found the sort
"By Title" feature much more usable when if the folder
contents were sorted by "programid".  This resulted in
the shows associated with a title being sorted into
episode order, rather than title, subtitle, or the
happenstance of airdate.  If episodes are recorded
out-of-order, they end up presented in correct order.
I'm currently using mythtv on Fedora 20.

I think others may find this patch useful.  Here's the
quick hack I applied to mythtv.  Though 0.27, it looks
like it should apply directly to mythtv in git:

Thanks for providing a great product - I've been using it for years.
