Some more information from my side:
I cannot completely map the full sorting order from MediaPortal to Kodi. MediaPortal has a separate sorting order field independent from the channel number/LCN. Kodi does not yet support a separate channel sorting order field in their database. In MediaPortal it is even possible to sort channels in different groups in a different order. I cannot map that at all to the Kodi channel order.
What I'm doing right now is to learn Kodi the channels in the order of the MediaPortal "All channels" group and besides that I'm using the LCN as channel number at the Kodi side. This gives Kodi only two sorting options: by channel number or by backend order (= All channels group order).
