I am currently using sparkle TV 1.7 0 hard coded.. In the movies and TV series section by default they are listed by name instead of listed by date added.. Is there a way to go into the folder using MT manager and make it date added by default?

Hi guys I have spent hours trying to make the movies and TV series sort by "date added" as default instead of "by name" using MT manager.. I know while watching you can go to the three lines on top and select by date added but I would like to make it default instead. I have elderly parents and they don't understand When I try to explain it to them lol If it was by default it'd be much easier thanks for your help

If one of the experts can please help me learn how to do this ? I have searched and looked in Mt manager and still can't find the folder to change the default setting to "date added" instead of "by name" for movies and series..
Would it be in arsc editor/sedekonsult sparkle/XML/channels_manage?

Use MT Manager and open the dex with Dex Plus Editor then search for "movie_sorting" As a string and enable search sub folders search then search

You will find it 4 times just click on the 3 rd occurance ( Lue/b$c; at 3042 )

You have to change the line above it which is like

const/4 v1, 0x0

const-string v2, "movie_sorting"


Change this to

const/4 v1, 0x1 //True or represents 1

const-string v2, "movie_sorting"


Then just save and compile and enable auto signing
Install and enjoy

Note: the reason I hide the url is because the app is hidden in the original post. I have checked your reaction score too but I have to hide it to respect the person work who posted it

const/4 v1, 0x1 //True or represents 1


Do I include the // True or represents 1
Because a error message popped up saying [3040,22] mismatched input 'True' expecting END_METHOD_DIRECTIVE

Also do I do the same method for series?
