After a new install from scratch on Kodi 21.1 (android), IPTV simple Client (V21.9.4) is not loading any more the original order of groups from the M3U8 playlist, but ordering them alphabetically. I've never had this behaviour untill my current last setup on Kodi Nexus 20.3 (Iptv simple client V20.13.0). Did I miss some new configuration option ?
Is there a way to come back to the default m3u8 groups order defined in my playlist editor ?
Many thanks for all efforts put into this addon along so many years !

There is a kodi setting in PVR/Channels „use backend channelgroup order“. Is that enabled for you?

Please provide a screenshot of those settings on your device

Only channel order on the backend is preserved.
Groups are shown alphabetically. Channel grouping was largely rewritten so it’s unlikely the old behaviour would be possible.

Then the "Use channel group order from backend(s)" setting should be removed.

Definitely not, as the add-ons can send the desired group order to Kodi, which iptvsimple currently seems not to do.
EDIT: Or there is a bug in Kodi PVR core implementation. Needs to be investigated.

Excellent. Released for for Omega. Piers will have to wait as there is an issue on the build server.

I already compiled Piers for Android and is also working fine on my Shield.
