Description

All versions until most recent has this "bug". Recordings list is ordered by title alphabetically. But title for recording is chosen wrong. Now it its "Recording DD.MM.YYYY h:m:s". This kind of name does not get ordered logically correct. Ordering algorithm sorts alphabetically, but users (including me) expects it to be sorted by date. (well, at least me and users in my university do)
So my suggestion is to sort it by "date recorded", or change recording name to "Recording YYYY.MM.DD h:m:s".
Changing title building part shouldn't mess things up too much. And ordering part in UI can be left as it is - it doest the job ordering alphabetically.

It is not critical with few recordings. But later, with long list of recordings it is hard to find one I'm looking for.
