This may also be a MythCenter(-Wide) artifact, but I have noticed that 
when a series is selected in the left column, the individual shows are 
NOT sorted in date order. Once upon a time, the individual shows were 
dated ordered, oldest at the top. Now they are not. The 'old' version 
was at least as of MythCenter-Wide 1.1 or so. Off the top of my head, I 
think the new (dis-ordered) version is 1.7.

I took a look at recordings-ui.xml but i could not find anywhere which 
seemed to relate to the ordering of entries in the show list.
Does anyone know whether setting the sort order is possible in the xml?
