Above is conversation trying to figure out why I cannot get Firefly Metadata correct to dvd/blueray order on plex.

You can…

1. Edit the show
2. go to the advanced tab
3. set the episode order to „TheTVDb (DVD)“

You might need to refresh the show‘s metadata after applying the change.

I have the 15th anniversary Blu-ray discs which use the DVD order and include the unaired episodes. They are organized on the filesystem as:

./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E01 - Serenity.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E02 - The Train Job.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E03 - Bushwhacked.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E04 - Shindig.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E05 - Safe.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E06 - Our Mrs. Reynolds.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E07 - Jaynestown.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E08 - Out of Gas.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E09 - Ariel.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E10 - War Stories.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E11 - Trash.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E12 - The Message.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E13 - Heart of Gold.mkv
./TV/Firefly (2002)/Season 01/Firefly (2002) - S01E14 - Objects in Space.mkv

(The library points to “TV.”)

In order to have Plex display the correct order and metadata, I only needed to edit the show (click the pencil on the *show’s" poster), select Advanced, and set the episode ordering to “TheTVDB (DVD).” Then, save your changes. You may need to refresh the show’s metadata after making this change.

Oops, @tom80H was too fast.

Firefly is the epitome of this type of situation - maybe should have it’s own KB article at this point.
