    Grouping vs sorting on Humax 4000

    TiVo recordings can by grouped by folder or left add individual recordings
    Then can be sorted by date time or alphabet

    Humax don't seem to understand there is a difference between grouping and sorting 

    Recordings can be 'grouped' by "programme" but what order are they sorted by?

    Not alphabetically
    Not by day/time

    It seems quite random
    I've only just started and its looking messy now so by the time I'm 3/4 full it will be hecletic

    Anyone know how they are sorted?

    I think that order in "Programme" is just the order of the last recording so a weekly serial drops down the order until the next episode records when it returns to the top of the list again.

    It's a bit strange the way the series recordings keep re-sorting themselves every time you look at it but we have dozens of recordings and have got used to it.

    Yes, that's how it is supposed to work and generally does, but not always. The first episode of the latest series of Suits remained isolated from the rest of the series and I have just noticed that last nights episode of The Aliens hasn't been grouped with last weeks.

    I have only had the box since Christmas and have 102 recordings. I already find it a chore to find what I want, so I do hope that Humax change the UI and scrap those useless thumbnails so that I can see more recordings on the screen, and if they also enabled A-Z sorting it would be a big help.

    Yes, you're right. Sometimes one episode of a series gets recorded as a separate episode. I've no idea why this happens but we've just learned to live with it as it's a small issue compared to all the other FVP-4000T foibles!
