Made the mistake of ‘upgrading’ my TV library. Now I have shows out of order. Sonarr has the correct order, TVDB has the correct order, but Plex’s order is all wonky. Did I do something wrong or should I just go back to TVDB? Doesn’t seem to be any alternative ordering from the Plex agent.

If you want specific shows to use a certain episode order, you can simply set it for that particular show (or the entire library).

See:

  • :pencil2: > Advanced > Episode ordering (editing the tv-show item)
  • ⋮ > Manage Library > Edit... → Advanced > Episode ordering (editing the library)

It’s funny there’s Aired order and DVD order, both of which are correct on TVDB but still do not match Plex. I changed to TVDB, then I ended up removing and re-adding the show, and updating again and the order looks correct now. Hopefully it stays that way.

It should.
Side note… you shouldn’t have had to remove/readd your files – refreshing the show’s metadata after changing the episode ordering should have done the trick.
