I would like to be able to sort the event view to show earliest at the top of the list vs being sorted with latest first.
For example, if I want to view events from early this morning I currently have to scroll past every event that has happened today, which can easily be 100+ (these are outside cams so pick up a lot of cars and dog walkers etc.).
Thanks!
But then youâd be looking at events from 14 days ago?
You might want to make use of the filters if youâre not already.
The events are already sorted by day. Iâd just like to easily see the earliest events in any given day.
Great suggestion. User defined sort order! If they could do that then they could also easily provide sort by cam too.
The events tab only shows 1 day at a time, not 14 days at a time.
The user defined sort order would allow the user to show that selected day from oldest to newest rather than the default forced newest to oldest.
Event List Reverse Order Button
Can we get a button at the top of the event list to display (and load) the list of events in reverse order?
Most security events seem to be between 1am and 4am. Weâre constantly scrolling through the entirety of a dayâs events to look at previous car prowls (and the like).
This would allow us to start searching through a day from the beginning of the day (as well as the default âendâ)
[Mod Edit] Merged with an existing wishlist topic. Give it a vote to help it along!
Sort Events and/or Load Events for specific hours/times
When a full day of Events have been accumulated, itâs tedious to get to the Events Hours/Times before that occurred before dawn.
Recommend either to A) allow Ascending/Descending sort AND/OR B) to list All 24 Hours that allows the user to click on that Hour Slot to pull Event Videos to collect.
For Option B, we already painstakingly do that, but for each descending hour.

Is there a list view at all? I can only access the calendar view on my android device, and if I want to jump to the event, I have to move my big fingers back and forth until the tiny playhead lands on a moment of video during the day. Very inefficient.
I like the way Ring has a simple list view with all the events, you donât waste any time pulling up a video and looking back throughout the day / week / or month.
The calendar view is awful in my opinion.
The Cam Event List that is being mentioned here, and the request for customized sorting, is the Events Tab UI. These are the uploaded cloud server Event videos. By default, that UI already sort the Events for the cams and the filters you have selected in your settings from the newest at the top to the oldest at the bottom. The page loads 20 chronological thumbnails initially. Another 20 can be loaded by dragging the list up.
However, by your post, it sounds like you are referring to the SD Card recordings âPlaybackâ UI.
There are two different SD Card Playback UI depending on the cam that you have. Neither will show event Thumbnails in a list although the new one does place event icons on the timeline.
If you can provide which cam you are using and perhaps a screenshot of the page, that might help you get better feedback.
Well, this is years old, but hereâs my vote. Takes forever to scroll through an entire dayâs worth of events.
I donât think we need to reverse the sort of the entire page. But a button that would shoot me all the way to the bottom at once would also be great.
Feature request to provide a way to change sort order in event playback
This is one of the worst misses on the app. There is no way to reverse the sort on the playback screen to show the early morning events first.
Is there a ticket somewhere for this? Is there a lack of developers to place a sort button on the screen?
I am a software engineer, I would be willing to work the ticket myself. I canât imagine any situation where this wouldnât be a simple addition to the code base. Unless the code base is an absolute pile of spaghetti, which it may very well be I guess.

All of my wyze devices are the V3. The Pan V3 and the WyzeCamV3. This aspect of them is terrible (as others have mentioned). Itâs almost as if someone with Zero UI experience designed this part of the app.
Wyze has a host of problems, and based on what little theyâve updated their cameraâs firmware / software. They also have a host of security vulneratbilities that are far more problematic than playback thumbnails.
Ya, now scroll back through a weekend, or week, or month (assuming you travel and still use these).
Ring doesnât have this issue. Period.
I build enterprise software at my day job and I just donât get this limitation. I assume theyâre using some sort of SQL database to store the records. It is currently in newest to oldest order.
SQL has a random sort for a given select statement - which means they are providing this parameter SOMEWHERE⌠just switch it from ASC to DSC depending on the users selected sort order.
Group by date ⌠order by time⌠they already have the little filter icon that pulls up a modal for what cameras to display. Literally throw a âsortâ drop down and default it to the CURRENT SORT THEY HAVE and youâre backwards compatible.
I can write the technical spec for your developers, you donât have to even involve your over payed product guys that are doing the WORST job possible. Sorry for being so harsh about it but itâs some really awful UI and programming, not to mention all of the security issues.
Theyâre the best selling cameras in the world basically, the app should be FLAWLESS at this point. Unfortunately theyâre really the only viable option for a clean interface with iPhones a that are cheap outside of a dedicated NVR systemâŚso Iâll just deal with it.
They have some weird pagination that makes a jump to bottom button a little weird to implement from a Dev perspective - Iâm guessing. The overhead of just sorting it the other way and leaving the existing paging setup would be easier to implement, IMO, but thatâs just based on my experience building software thatâs designed half way decent. With all the inconsistent UI features per camera model itâs gotta be an awful pile of spaghetti code at this point though, which is why this isnât already implemented lol
