Contour (record 6) DVR, order of programs

This is sort of a "I know the answer (b/c it's not hard to try out all the settings on a DVR)" situation, but I just wanted to know if there was official confirmation.

Can you not order your recorded shows alphabetically?

For the most part, I think the black-Cisco box's "operating system" is an enormous improvement on the old silver-box. The ability to look more than 6 days into the future, being able to search On-Demand (instead of having to guess if something was in freezone or primetime, etc.....although I've still had issues with the search not finding everything I found manually looking...), the ease of navigating the DVR menu with just the arrows (esp since the silver box "updated" and the group/ungroup function worked on recorded titles & scheduled titled, a hassle when you want them the opposite).

But curiously, it seems the ordering of (already recorded) titles in the DVR menu has changed to the less-convenient possibility. On the old box, if you had the titles grouped the group "folders" were always listed alphabetically. (Only when un-grouped were they listed by newest-to-oldest). This is pretty simple & pretty perfect. Now I've found that when group they STILL are ordered by time-recorded  (just that the whole folder moves up if it contains a new program).  (Relatively) this is quite a pain.  Even if it's something auto-recorded, the series-recordings menu only lets you see how many you have on the DVR, but not select them (directly from there).  

Yes, there is a search-function (which was cool for OD), but can you honestly tell me typing out a title with a TV remote is faster than knowing where a program is (because it's alphabetized) and quickly scrolling to it (with the +/- buttons)?  Am I correct that there is no way to alphabetize the titles? (And we must just *** it up)
