In Aura I can go to my live tv section and the last played channel widgets might be showing the shows that were on 2 hours ago. I don’t know what the maker of the Emburary skin is doing different but his are very accurate. They even show the progress of the shows.
Which LiveTV widgets are you using? I need to know whether they are through Skin Helper or not.
e.g. Are they set through "Default Widgets > PVR >" or "Additional Widgets > Skin Helper Widgets > PVR >".
This is important because Embuary uses native kodi widget paths. So make sure that your PVR widgets are set through the "Default Widgets" path, as all widgets in there are native kodi library widgets.
You could also try @olympus suggestion about adding the sort order manually.
In the widget customisation screen click the AZ icon (has an up/down arrow with it). This will open a keyboard allowing you to enter a sort method. Enter "lastplayed" (without quotes). Also change the sort direction to "descending" by clicking the next icon (list with up/down arrow).
Looking at embuary, it seems that the pvr widgets also have the sort method/direction set, so this might be the important difference.
I did try editing the default PVR widget that comes set up in the skin as is (channels I bellive its called) but it does not allow me to edit the sort order to lastplayed. the AZ edit item does nothing when I select it?
I am hoping however that you could implement the square icons like Embuary with the show name - time and duration indicators? The landscape icons in Aura right now are so big and cumbersome only allowing 3 channels on the screen at a time etc.
