Show oldest first

[WerewolfTA]

Since sub confirmed that this isn't currently configurable by the end user (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=21350), I'd like to see if an option could be added to allow recordings to be listed in ascending order by date instead of, or in addition to, listing the newest first. I like to watch the old stuff first so I don't miss something. And since the Whats New tab only goes back so many days, it's easy to miss recordings unless I periodically scroll through all the alphabetized entries, looking for old dates. What I frequently do is scroll all the way to the bottom of the Whats New list, find a couple of show names, then switch to the Ready list and go into the shows that way, to make sure I catch the earliest entry of that title. That's a lot of extra scrolling and hunting. Surely, I'm not the only one who takes a first-in-first-out approach to watching TV.

Thank you for your consideration.

Its not quite what you asked for, but you can press the Ctrl-R (red key) to toggle the list order.

So if you're on the 'whats new' page. It normally shows the recordings in the last week, in newest to oldest. If you press Ctrl-R, it'll show them oldest to newest.

Actually I just remembered there is also <WhatsNewDayCount> in the config.xml, which combined with my comments above may give you what you're looking for.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

That worked great. I initially went into the config.xml and set it to 37 days, but then when I went into the config utility, it threw an error and disabled all the plugins. I think it was because of the VA panel. So, I changed that back to 7, went back into config, and found where that was in VA settings. It looks like it tops out at 31 days, but that's ok. I don't normally get that far behind and anything older than that is either going to get automatically overwritten or will stand out like a sore thumb in the alphabetized list. Thank you, sub!

Great - glad it worked.
