Comment(by mdean):

 As mentioned in the first comment (from 4 months ago), above, there is a
 setting:
 {{{
 Auto Expire Method
  - Oldest Show First
  - Lowest Priority First
  - Weighted Time/Priority Combination
 Method used to determine which recorded shows to delete first.  LiveTV
 recordings will always expire before normal recordings.
 }}}
 that will determine the order used to expire recordings.  Duncan, it
 sounds like you changed the setting to "Lowest Priority First" (since it
 defaults to Oldest Show First).  Please set this setting appropriately.
 mythfrontend settings, Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|General Settings,
 IIRC.

 Anyone who adds any comments to this ticket should specify which value is
 set for Auto Expire Method on the system.
