Support for more or arbitrary orderings

[laharah]

thetvdb supports several ordering values for some shows besides just DVD, ABS, and AIRDATE.

I ran into this issue while trying to sort my Futurama Episodes. As you can see Futurama has all of the above as well as "streaming order" and "production order" (production order is called `Regional Order` in the api):

Unfortunately my files are in production order, which is wildly different from either broadcast or dvd order which makes it a major pain to sort. It's not a huge deal since I don't believe this kind of problem comes up often (Futurama had a notoriously turbulant development, and was also in that time where fox was randomly re-arranging show orders for broadcast).

Anyways it'd be nice if the cli would allow "arbitrary" orderings for certain sources, where the user could enter a supported ordering for a particular show.

You could try these:

Shell: Select all

--order Digital

Shell: Select all

--order Production

FileBot currently maps your --order value to TheTVDB orders like so:

Groovy: Select all

switch (order) {
	case Absolute:
		return "absolute";
	case DVD:
		return "dvd";
	case Digital:
		return "alternate";
	case Production:
		return "official";
	default:
		return "default";
}

Please include sample file paths as text so that we can see your file names too.
