Hi
Attached is a patch which allows to toggle the sort order of recordings in the recording menu with vdr-1.7.27 between - name - date - recording length
by pressing 0 key. At least I have found this to be very useful feature when trying to find a just made recording from which you do not know/remember the exact name to search from the long list of recordings.
The thing I do not like in the patch is that the user must know this "0" key as all 4 colors are already reserved in VDR for other functions in recordings menu. (play, go to beginning, delete and info). But I do not know any better way to handle this at the moment.
Patch got inspiration from http://www.u32.de/vdr-1.3.37-simple_record_sort-0.1.diff originally submitted by Walter Koch some years ago.
