I am sorry if this have been asked before, i have searched forums but could not find this.  
So my “problem” or annoyance is this. Somewhere along the road the plex switched the sort order so that now it show the last episode first, as shown on the image attatched. I have had it to show oldest first before, but for the love of the plex gods I can not find where in the server settings i can change this back so that it shows oldest first.

If this happens for just this show:  
[‘edit’ the show](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201272763-Edit-Details "'edit' the show")  
go to the ‘Advanced’ tab  
change the ‘Episode sorting’ dropdown selector to your preferred sorting order

If this happens for all shows:  
[‘edit’ the tv show library](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200289266-Editing-Libraries "'edit' the tv show library")  
go to the ‘Advanced’ tab  
change the ‘Episode order’ dropdown selector to your preferred sorting order
