"Recently" list behavior

This question has two distinct parts…

  1. I’ve noticed that sometime in the last couple weeks, my plex server has changed the sequence (top to bottom on the web interface) used to display the various “Recently Added” lists. Is there any way to control the sequence, or at least to have it list the most recent stuff at the top instead of the bottom (as it is now doing)?

  2. Based on the numerous questions (mine included) about the “Recently Added” and “Recently Watched” lists, it seems that these are crying out for some user options to control their behavior. For example (possible options):

    A) Allow Plex to control these settings (i.e. however ‘recently’ currently works)
    B) Only show items added (or viewed) in the past [configurable time period]
    C) Manually specify ‘Recently’ list display sequence

These don’t seem too difficult (from the outside) and, for those of us with relatively static servers (once our setup was complete, that is), some control of these lists would be nice. Not many of us consider several years ago to meet the definition of “Recently” – ever.
