The sorting is done based on the recording date that is stored in the
directory name. Setting all dates to the same value results in no sorting
at all, since there is no date that is "less than" another one.

To use this workaround I suggest setting the dates/times in such a way that
they have increasing values with respect to the alphabetical order of the
recordings.
