It seems to be related to the wrong logic of the role of filters and classification rules in the client/web side.
When I choose to sort by “Date Last Episode Added” in the categories of the library page, it displays the episodes in the correct order. But when I add an item in the filter - for example to filter based on which country the episode is from, then I still choose to sort by “last episode added date”, it doesn’t sort correctly. Logically speaking, after I sort by date of addition, I add a filter at this time, which should only eliminate episodes that are not in the country I selected based on the previous sort. But in fact, not only that, it also messes up the sort order, and I’m not sure what it sorts after filtering the country.

That is odd. I am not 100% positive but suspecting that when viewing `Country``TV Shows` `Last Episode Date Added` is only considering the the first season of any given show. so the last episode date added of season 1
In any case definitely something not right going on. Thanks for report.

I reported a very similar issue a year ago.

> @tom80H I am able to confirm there is a bug with smart collection sorting using the “Last Episode Date Added” when combined with advanced filters for shared users. This bug only occurs within a smart collection of shows (i.e. query parameters type=2&sort=episode.addedAt:desc). A smart collection of episodes is sorted correctly. There must be at least one advanced filter applied. The exact filter does not matter, and any filter will produce this bug. If a shared user goes into the library and …
