Description

This is a usability bug.

Currently channel merging operations seem to favour merging into, and thus retaining the highest channel number. (I think it isn't intentional, just an implicit result of the order operations are taken.) This isn't ideal, since for example, on BSkyB lineups it will result in "Channel Four" at channel number 104, being merged into a duplicate at channel number 974 and retaining this higher number. And at first glance it appears that "Channel Four" has disappeared from the lineup until you look up into the far higher numbers.

Can there be some logic added to prefer a merge into the lowest number, which is more likely to retain the intended EPG channel ordering.
