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.

Hi Mika,
Thanks for this patch! Great to get this feature back that i have been missing since my recent upgrade from vdr 1.6 to 1.7
Would it be possible to enhance the patch so that you would get the directories also sorted separately: Directories before recordings / directories after recordings (i prefer the latter option) sorted by name... :-)
Regards,

The next developer version of VDR will contain sorting of recordings. You will be able to toggle between sorting by date or alphabetically, and that setting will be stored separately for each folder. When sorted by date, folders will still be in alphabetical order and will come first.

Sounds great. I have also found out that sometimes it's useful to be able to sort also by recordings length/size. It will help if you are lack of space or want to clean up some couple of seconds/minutes recordings one may have made mistakenly.
