I'm still waiting for a volunteer to take over developing the web
interface but no takers so far :-(

No way to change the order that archive items are displayed in the UI at
the moment but I like the idea. Should be fairly easy to do for myth
recordings. The fact that you may also have MythVideo files as well as
any video files makes it a little harder to do though.
If you want your files to appear in a particular order on the DVD you
can do that by selecting the files in the order you want. Or if you are
using latest svn trunk you can now change the order on the final page of
the wizard.
