Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No, it is purely an aesthetic and display preference

Describe the solution you'd like The current sort is Oldest to Newest. I would request consideration is given to swapping this default to Newest to Oldest.

Describe alternatives you've considered None.

Additional context When I bork the machine, which is infrequent, one wishes to recover from something recent, not the dark past.

My current schedule for BHDWM is 5/12/7/4/6 which doesn't take all that much room, but it does leave quite a few entries.

If doing a review of various backups/procedures, which is fairly often, the sort order of TimeShift ALWAYS gives me a start.... "Oh, F... where are the last few? Ah... sort order."

IF restoring, one doesn't need a month ago as a first option, they need an hour ago, or yesterday.... we can always choose older if its not enough on first crack at it :)

ORIGINAL oldest-to-newest

HOPED FOR CHANGE newest-to-oldest
