order of episodes presented

I have expressed this before but nothing has changed.

I have several shows, where I am recording many episodes of each show, sometimes as many as 20 or 30. when I go to watch them, they are presented on the list in reverse order, that is, the most recently recorded one is first. so to watch them in order, each time I go in, I have to arrow right 20 or 30 times, to get to the last one in the list, which is the oldest one, in order to watch them in the proper order.

similarly, if I go to "episodes" and look at the list there, same thing. the most recent season is at the top, and the episodes in the season are also top most is the most recent, or last one of that season. so to get to the one I want to watch, which is the oldest, again to watch them in the proper order, I have to arrow down to the bottom season, then to the bottom episode in the season.

this stinks.

seems to me it would be a simple thing to provide an option to reverse the order, in either the DVR list, or the episode list. I have some software skills, if your engineers can't figure out how to do it, I would be glad to stop by and look at your code for you, hard to say how long it would take me but I'll bet I can  provide a software fix within a day or so. but please address this problem for me.

  thanks.

I hate to tell you this, but this has always been the way it works. It's the same when you go to the On Demand section to watch a show, the newest episode is listed first, and that can include an entire season of episodes.  To me, I find this to be one of the minor problems on Xfinity, there are so many more that are worse.

no argument. I'm just saying, this would be a simple change. maybe 20 lines of code total. I could do a design of it without ever having seen any of the code.
