1. ““Appeals in criminal cases must be prosecuted in accordance with part VI of the Florida Appellate Rules, and with such provisions of other parts of the Appellate Rules as are not inconsistent with the provisions of part VI. Rule 6.1, Florida Appellate Rules. The time for filing a notice of appeal is governed by Rule 6.3, Florida Appellate Rules, which provides that the appeal may be taken within 30 days from the day the order is entered, or prior to trial, whichever is sooner. The term ‘entered’ in the context of the Criminal Appeals Section of the Florida Appellate Rules has been held to mean the same as ‘rendered’ as defined in Rule 1.3, Florida Appellate Rules. State v. Shedaker, Fla.App.1966, 190 So.2d 429 ; State ex rel. Faircloth v. Cross, Fla.1970, 238 So.2d 81 ; White v. State, Fla.App.1972, 267 So.2d 360 .” Id. at 509 .”

2. ““It would be a denial of the right to procedural due process to permit the delay between the filing of an order and the date of its recordation to extend the time for the State to appeal such order, except any order required to be recorded by statute or rule. It would be tantamount to allowing the clerk of the circuit court, a ministerial office, to govern and enlarge the time for the taking of an appeal in derogation of the exclusive rule-making authority which has been delegated to the Florida Supreme Court.” (Footnote omitted)”
