Personal thoughts on the matter is that the TVDBepisodeID version I think is a better one, but requires more work to setup because you have to pull the IDs from TVdb yourself. That being said there should be a simple way to script it. The things I like are that the files are physically sorted to the way you want them, instead of the SortTo which needs the files to be named to match, which could break if TVdb decides to change their episode orders (I’ve had that problem before).
Using the EpisodeID from TVDB it’s linked to that entry no matter where that entry exists, & can even be linked to unsorted episodes which would solve a problem that exists with another title, Re:Zero Director’s Cut because the director’s cut only has the 1st season, it only exists in a special sorting category that is incomplete so can’t be used even if we had the option to select it unless you didn’t have season 2.
It also gives the option for shows like Re:Zero to have both the Director’s Cut as well as the Original if, like me, you already had the 1 when the other came out. I personally have the Director’s cut as a “Season 101” but it doesn’t match, I had moved it to Season 1 & had the original as Season 101, but then when Season 2 came out & Season 2 didn’t work with the Director’s Cut sorting I swapped them. But this would let you do it however you desire.
.
The benefits of the SortTo method would be that it is easier to edit if things do change, but at the same time it’s vulnerability TO that is it’s biggest problem as well.
NOTE: that the ep: S02E01: & the /Season 2 - Part 2/Sabrina S02E01.mkv in the .plexmatch file shouldn’t both be necessary… I think… According to the documentation you should be able to use either alone to get the result, but the documentation is not very specific & doesn’t give a clear definitive on that
