How about simply adding a button (maybe [1]) to change the sort-order
in the "Recordings" menu?

On entry:                 Sorted alphabetically
First time pressing [1]:  Sorted by recording time
Second time pressing [1]: Sorted by genre (Ok, ok, just a joke ...)
Third time pressing [1]:  Sorted alphabetically
...
