Hi,

as statet [here](https://forums.plex.tv/t/will-the-alternate-order-of-thetvdb-be-available-in-plex/492748) it would be really great to have “Alternate Order” for TheTVDB as there are some series where it would help to get a correct match for seasons/episodes (Money Heist as an example)

Regards,  
D

There already exists a recent feature suggestion for this with a number of votes on it. Please use the forum search before creating new requests in order to avoid double posts that distract votes.

> Recently, TVBD implemented a [feature](https://www.thetvdb.com/blog/something_new) called “Flexible Seasons” which is really useful for shows like [Money Heist](https://thetvdb.com/series/la-casa-de-papel) or [Chilling Adventures of Sabrina](https://thetvdb.com/series/chilling-adventures-of-sabrina) where the most commonly used order is not the original order. Currently, the API does not support this feature, but I would really like to see this feature implemented into Plex as soon as possible. Edit 2020-04-08: Episode Groups TMDB has implemented a similar method which they call “Episode Groups”. Those are already available via API ([https://de…](https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/tv-episode-groups/get-tv-episode-group-details)

Closing this post.
