If I want to move a tv show from one library to another is there any way to stop it from re-appearing as recently added.

Kevin.

Shame. I’ll just have to continue to confuse my users then.

Why must you move them to different libraries at all?  
Even if you move them from one _disk_ to another (let’s say you have an internal disk for ‘current’ releases and a slower NAS for archiving), they can continue to be in the same Plex library.  
The ‘Added at’ and ‘Released’ dates provide enough means to sort the library, if you prefer to view your latest additions “on top”.

All you need to do is to [follow a certain order](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201154537 "follow a certain order") when moving the files.  
A Plex library can “watch” several file locations. There is no problem adding both the ‘current’ folder and the NAS location to the same library.

I have one library for currently running tv shows and another for shows that have ended or been cancelled.

I moved 6 shows from current to ended and all the current tv that I added this morning disappeared leaving only 3 of the moved shows as recently added.

OK. This cannot be done within Plex.

Different issue.  
The ‘Recently Added’ for tv shows takes only the last 50 _episodes_ into account. If you moved a whole show into a new library, then this will very likely oust all previously added shows.

Thanks Otto.

That makes sense.
