Recently added Star Wars Rebels, season 1. I don’t know enough about the show to know if maybe there are different orders for different reasons, but in the attached image you’ll see the file names, the Google list of episode titles, then lastly how Plex is displaying them, which matches neither the file names or the correct order according to Google.
Plex is not using Google for TV show meta data.
Additionally, your files are mp4, so they can contain nonsensical embedded title meta tags. Do this:
Go to
- Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB
In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under
- Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
- Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie (Legacy)
- Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase
Afterwards, Refresh Metadata of the affected items.
If your movie library already uses the new “Plex Movie” agent, do this instead:
Edit your movie library
go to the ‘Advanced’ tab
clear the check mark out of “Prefer local metadata”
Afterwards, Refresh Metadata of the affected items.
Your files appear to match the “Alternate Order” listed on TVDB.

Plex supports TV order and DVD order today. It looks like it would be straightforward to rename them to match the DVD order, and then you could edit the show in Plex and change it to use the DVD order.
Consider voting for this Plex feature request.
