The TV order for The Office on TVDB doesn’t quite line up with the Blu-Rays so I got permission via their support system to make an alternate order. I just finished it ([https://thetvdb.com/series/the-office-us/allseasons/altdvd](https://thetvdb.com/series/the-office-us/allseasons/altdvd)) but I noticed that Plex only has options for “Airing Order”, “DVD Order”, and “Absolute numbering”. I know it isn’t just some kind of caching problem because Plex also doesn’t show TheTVDB’s other alternate orderings. Is there anything I can do here?

This is something that may or may not get implemented in the new agent Plex is working on.  
You can read about it here: [New Plex Media Server movie scanner and agent preview](https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-plex-media-server-movie-scanner-and-agent-preview/593269).

As of right now in the current agent the only options are the ones you listed and since they are working on a new agent, they are not going to be updating the old one to add those features.
