Greetings,
Prior to posting this matter I have looked at the recommended naming and organising guidelines and meta-data management support articles (referenced below) but I remain unsure about a possible solution.
In particular I am struggling with Plex server correctly recognising and presenting/sorting TV serves episodes in a situation when the source of the media is different than TV.
Specifically, let’s take the example of Firefly TV series which was aired in a different order than it is presented on the physical media.
To that effect I have files stored in the correct order (as per official/physical media format) and Plex server catalogues them as Firefly but it assigns incorrect titles/meta-data to those episodes due to the fact that I have listed them in a physical media order and not TV airing order.
With that in mind I am wondering what can I do in order to address it, my preference being Plex displaying media the way I want it to display it and not the way it displays it.
The physical media order of Firefly TV series is listed here:
Plex server catalogues the series in order of airing and as seen on TheTVDB.com

Naming and organising practices document (linked below) does not seem to say anything about a process that one can follow in order to customise the collection…

Is there something that can be done in order to correct/change this?
Kind Regards
