mythweb UI suggestion

Hi all,

I'm running 0.14 of mythtv/mythweb, and I've got a UI suggestion for
mythweb. When viewing a grid of a single title [eg: The West Wing], I
noticed that you can sort the grid by any of the headers - "show",
"episode", "description", "station", "air date", and "length". It might be
a nice idea to have the header that the grid is sorted by underlined as
well as display an up/down triangle to show if the list is in ascending or
descending order. [.i stumbled upon the list order by accident, as i
clicked 'air date' twice thinking i hadn't clicked it the 1st time, and
the air dates were shown in reverse order - very cool!].

BTW, I'm *very* impressed with the UI of mythweb. The use of CSS to easily
see which shows will be recorded is awesome.

This was always a planned feature. I've just implemented the framework
for this, and will get around to an arrow (or a set of arrows, since
there are secondary/tertiary/etc sort fields) at some point. But for
now, the primary field will be bold (or italic if reversed -- I'm really
creative at the moment ;).

Another suggestion for MythWeb is to allow searching for movies with "stars >=
some_number". Currently I do this manually in MySQL, but would love to have it
in MythWeb. I have looked into adding this myself, but can't quite make it
through the nasty search string / URL construction.

The movies page needs to be rewritten. the current one is just a quick
hack to keep the original functionality in, and I've gotten bogged down
by other projects since then. I envision a page with all kinds of
movie-specific options on it, but may not have the time to get to it for
awhile.
