You can download the linux addon for FTR in the XBMC client thread on the FTR forums (www.4therecord.eu). It'll install and work in OpenElec, I've done it. I also think it's better than the stock MePo addon (because I prefer FTR overall, not because the coding quality is better in one vs the other).
That said channel sorting is one of those things that isn't quite all the way there yet in XBMC PVR. With the FTR addon, I can have it sort based on how I have them sorted in FTR, but I have to do the sorting in FTR, it can't be done inside XBMC. You also have to reset the PVR db if you change the order.
XBMC PVR is very much still a work in progress; there have been great strides and fantastic effort on the part of several developers, and it's definitely usable, but right now you should get in to it understanding that it's still evolving. Your feedback/testing will help
