channel sorting

[Zorac Dev]

The channel sorting is near to useless especially when the source is satellite with hundreds of channels.

For example, say you wish to create your own list in fav1.

You add the channels and they appear in the order you add them.

Your sort order is either, numeric by channel or alphabetical or leave in the order you added them.

You can swap 2 channels to change the order but this is useless. Say for example that slots 1,2,3 have satellite channels 101, 118 and 122. Later I want to add channel 102 into slot 2. This is the problem, adding a new channel puts it in the last position, in my example that would be slot 4. The only option to adjust the position is to use the swap feature,  but I don't want to swap the order with another channel I simply want slot4 moved to slot2 and leave everything else in the same order. If I use swap then either chan 101 or 118 will go to the bottom of the list and then that channel would be on the wrong order.
In reality the fav1 list would have say 50 channels in it so swapping every other row to get the new one at slot 51 to slot 2 would take hours.

With hundreds of channels and channel numbers being updated there is no way to reorder these easily without removing all and adding them one by one in the order you want them.
