the only ways i see are:
- use tvdb numbering
- use anidb numbering
- use grouping folder and clever anidb numbering using brackets to sort chronologically
- use a season per series but wrong metadata
You can sort locally but they will be separate series in plex, possibly in Monogatari collection…
Monogatari series [grouping]
- [01] bakemonogatari [anidb-xxxxx]
- [02] kizumonogatari [anidb-xxxxx]
- [03] nisemonogarari [anidb-xxxxx]
- [04] nisemonogatari kuro [anidb-xxxxx]
- [05] monogatari second season [anidb-xxxxx]
- [06] hanamonogatari [anidb-xxxxx]
- [07] tsukimonogatari [anidb-xxxxx]
- [08] owarimonogatari [anidb-xxxxx]
- [09] koyomimonogatari [anidb-xxxxx]
- [10] owarimonogatari s2 [anidb-xxxxx]
- [11] zokuowarimonogatari [anidb-xxxxx]
OR you can sort in plex but the agent cannot sort the mess (say goodbye to correct metadata unless you craft your own custom entry locally of scudlee mapping file to map anidb to fake tvdb xml and matching mapping)
- Season 1 [Bakemonogatari]
- Season 2 [kizumonogatari]
- …
