Getting Plex to use DVD episode ordering

Server Version#: Version 1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3
Player Version#:

So I have just started playing with Plex and I cant figure this one out. Found some articles on it but they were a few years and don’t seem to apply anymore.

I added Season 1 or the 1997 show Stargate SG1. Here is my naming convention.
DVDs/TV Shows/Stargate SG1 (1997)/Season 01 (1997)/Stargate SG1 - s01e01.mp4
DVDs/TV Shows/Stargate SG1 (1997)/Season 01 (1997)/Stargate SG1 - s01e02.mp4

DVDs/TV Shows/Stargate SG1 (1997)/Season 01 (1997)/Stargate SG1 - s01e21.mp4

I then create a Library TV Shows that points to the dir DVDs/TV Shows

I have the Library using the Plex Series as the agent and episode ordering to TVDB.
there is no TVDB (DVD) option.

when I scan the library if finds all the episodes but they are not ordered right. such as first episode is broken into 2. so now every show is off by one. Also some of the episodes are in different order.

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help

This is configured at the show level. Click the edit button (the pencil icon) in the lower-left of the show’s poster; from there, navigate to the Advanced tab. One of the options will be “Episode ordering,” from which you can select TheTVDB (DVD).

Ugh. not sure how I missed that. Thanks. that did the trick. ordered just fine now.

Again thanks for your help.

You’re welcome, glad you got it working.
