#### Naming & Organization

Make sure you are following Plex recommended naming and organization.

[Plex Documentation](https://support.plex.tv/articles/) → [Your Media](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/) → [Naming & Organizing Your TV Show Files](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/)

If you have to rename/reorganize, [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the show to clear any bad matching information from the Plex database.

#### Episode Ordering

Some shows have different episode orders based on aired order vs dvd order.

With Plex, you can choose to use the aired order from [TMDB](https://www.themoviedb.org/) or the aired, dvd, or absolute order from [TVDB](https://thetvdb.com/).

To pick which ordering to follow:

1. Edit the TV show (pencil icon)  
Note: Edit at the Show level, not individual seasons or episodes.
2. Choose Advanced
3. Scroll to Episode Ordering
4. Pick desired ordering
5. Save Changes
6. Refresh the metadata for the show if Plex does not do so automatically

If you still run into problems, please supply a directory listing, screenshot, etc showing how the TV show is named and organized, including which folder is added to the library.
