There's a few series that I've always had order problems with, usually involving a pilot or "movie" which kicked off the series or a season. An easy example is Star Wars Rebels. The first episode is marked as a Special (S00E08) in the standard order on tvdb, so basically the user has to remember and go watch that first.
With the new changes over at TheTVDB, seems like they finally address this with an Alternate order.
In filebot I tried selecting the alternate orders in the episode window, but none of them were pulling up this order. Is this accessible through filebot currently?
Thanks

Re: TheTVDB Alternate Order
FileBot currently does not support per-series custom orders. Not sure if those are even accessible at all via the API yet. Probably not. It'll probably take a while before TheTVDB website / TheTVDB API service / FileBot support those new features throughout.

Re: TheTVDB Alternate Order
Hello, any news about supporting alternate order?
There is more and more series that gets wrecked by disney+ and other vod platforms doing what they want with episode numbering.

Re: TheTVDB Alternate Order
Please try the latest beta and see if it works for your use case.
Posting file paths of badly named files that require alternative order would be appreciated.
Note that switching order in FileBot will not help Plex / Kodi / friends identify your files. If you're just renaming for yourself, then it's fine though.
